Our Work

Resource. Partner. Advocate.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is a partner, resource, and advocate to higher education institutions across the state.  

We work in partnership with the legislature, businesses, and other key stakeholders to ensure our state’s higher education goals are aligned with our state’s economic and talent needs.  We are a steward to the state’s strategic plan for higher education, Building a Talent Strong Texas. 

And we help Texas students and families access the tools they need to choose a postsecondary pathway while connecting them to financial resources to support them on that pathway. We also help ensure transitions – from high school to postsecondary, between postsecondary institutions, and from postsecondary into the workforce – are efficient.
