Gov. Greg Abbott announced the selection of 13 members to serve on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's (THECB) working group, created under his directive to develop a statewide framework for establishing three-year bachelor's degree pathways.

The working group includes staff and faculty leaders from four-year institutions and community colleges across the state, with expertise in academics, administration, accreditation, and workforce education.

"Texas students deserve a clear and affordable pathway to high-paying jobs," Abbott said.
