Higher Education Coordinating Board

The Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB) is a governmental agency in the United States that oversees and coordinates higher education activities within a state. Its main responsibilities include managing public universities and colleges, setting policies to improve access to education, ensuring quality and accountability, and planning for future educational needs. The HECB works to enhance educational opportunities for students, promote economic development, and ensure that the higher education system meets the needs of the community and the workforce.
