Abstract	Texas State Technical College (TSTC) single mission is graduating students who can go on to attain higher-paying jobs. The state's funding formula was specifically designed to hold TSTC accountable to accomplish this mission. Texas statute stipulates that TSTC will offer "courses of study in technical-vocational education for which there is demand" and "contribute to the educational and economic development of the State of Texas by offering occupationally oriented programs." In developing these programs, "primary consideration shall be placed on industrial and technological manpower needs of the state." This case study examines how TSTC, which focuses exclusively on economic advancement and is funded based on the economic benefits it provides to its graduates operates. Policymakers in other states who are looking to build more responsive and effective postsecondary institutions ought to take a close look at the financial structure that has enabled TSTC's unique success.
