The Minnesota P-20 Education Partnership Credentials of Value (CoV) work group has "sought to develop consensus for a quality criteria framework to identify credentials of value across both degree and non-degree credentials, discuss the policy and program areas where the framework could be applied, and understand the data needs to operationalize the criteria." The work of Minnesota Inclusive Higher Education Consortium (MIHEC) strives to incorporate the quality criteria framework for the inclusive higher education certificates offered and earned across Minnesota. 

This resource is shared as an example of state guidance that others may look for within their own state when developing a credential.
