The Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) which serves as the coordinating board for all public institutions in the state is committed to advancing credential transparency statewide because they believe deeply in its value. The availability of credential information in a common, consistent language has significantly enhanced KBOR’s ability to share data with other state agencies and contributed to their larger goal of increasing visibility and comparability across state lines. State leaders are using linked open data as a catalyst to make more intentional connections–not just within their own state, but also across the entire Midwest region.

Kansas has published over 2,500 credentials and learning opportunities and nearly 3,000 transfer values for the public colleges and universities.
