Governor Pushes Texas Higher Ed Board to Create 3-Year Bachelor’s Degrees
· Texas Border Business
Governor Greg Abbott has instructed the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to form a working group aimed at developing a framework for three-year bachelor's degree programs across the state. Abbott emphasized that reducing the time to earn a degree could help students save on costs and enter the workforce sooner, particularly in high-demand fields. The group will focus on academic standards, degree programs, student demand, and necessary regulatory changes. Recommendations are expected to be submitted to the Governor's Office by December 31, 2026, with plans to work with the Legislature to formalize the initiative.
