Overview

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) marketable skills initiative is part of the state’s 60x30TX plan and was designed to help students articulate their skills to employers. Marketable skills are those skills valued by employers and/or graduate programs that can be applied in a variety of work or education settings and may include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas.

The MS in Computing and Data Science at Sam Houston State University is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:

Identify and solve complex computing problems in information technology, business, medicine, and other essential industries.
World-class soft skills in complex problem-solving, communication, and creative thinking.
