Stackable certs = WIN-WIN

Many state legislatures, including Texas, are moving to a college funding scale that is, at least partially, based on the number of students who successfully complete a degree or certificate.  This provides an opportunity for stackable certificates to maximize resources for both community colleges and their students.

Creating multiple certificates that can be obtained with a small number of credit hours, along a pathway to a degree, provides significant benefits to both colleges and students. Stackable certificates translate a student’s work into completions for the college and lasting workforce credentials for the student.
