Education after highschool
Postsecondary education is formal education pursued after high school—college, university, vocational training, or trade schools.
The term is common in policy discussions and official contexts: Postsecondary education has become increasingly expensive.
It encompasses everything from two-year associate degrees to doctoral programs, as well as certificate programs and technical training.
