GROWING TEXAS TALENT by IMPROVING CREDIT MOBILITY

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has set critical targets in its Building a Talent Strong Texas strategic plan, including:

  • 550,000 students will complete postsecondary credentials of value each year.
  • 95% of students will graduate with no undergraduate student debt or manageable levels of debt in relation to their potential earnings.

Recognizing that the majority of learners in Texas today are moving across work and learning experiences, the Texas Transfer Alliance understands that these Talent Strong Texas targets cannot be met without a statewide focus on improved transfer and credit mobility. The Texas Transfer Alliance positions its work as critical to helping the state meet the Talent Strong Texas targets.

A COLLABORATION OF TEXAS UNIVERSITIES & COMMUNITY COLLEGES

The Alliance is convened by Educate Texas. Members include the Texas Association of Community Colleges, university systems, 2- and 4-year institutions, and affiliated partners. Click here to learn more.

  • Convene Texas higher education leadership to advance credit mobility
  • Build data research and capacity to better inform decision making
