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 Undergraduate Certificate in Victim Studies is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:

  • Assist victims in an empathetic and compassion way.
  • Understand the victim experience.
  • Be equipped to help victims through the criminal justice system.
