Credentials of Value
What is a "Credential of Value"?
According to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, credentials of value are quality, affordable credentials that:
Equip recipients for strong career trajectories;
-
Improve their earnings opportunities; and
-
Align with high-demand jobs offered by Texas employers.
Specifically, credentials of value must meet a certain cost-benefit threshold:
A typical student with that credential must earn enough within 10 years to pay for the cost of their education and surpass the earnings of a typical high school graduate.
