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. The Texas Transfer Alliance plays a key role in achieving these goals by advancing transfer and credit mobility statewide.
● 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.
A COLLABORATION OF TEXAS UNIVERSITIES & COMMUNITY COLLEGES
The Alliance is convened by Educate Texas. Members include the Texas Association of Community Colleges, university systems, two- and four-year institutions, and affiliated partners. This work is guided by the Texas Transfer Alliance Steering Committee.
LEADING INFORMATION AND SUPPORTING INSTITUTIONS
In 2024, Educate Texas received generous funding from Ascendium to drive a robust two-year agenda that will focus on four core pillars:
● Convene Texas higher education leadership to advance credit mobility
● Build data research and capacity to better inform decision making
● Support institutional practices, including leveraging new tools and technologies
● Advance grantmaking and partnerships, including institutional grants, to forge new approaches and spread what works
