Titulables

Titulables is an adjective used in education to describe programs, courses, or credits that lead to an official title or degree. The term derives from título, meaning title or degree, and the suffix -able, indicating that the described item is capable of producing such a result.

In higher education systems, a titulables program is one that culminates in a recognized qualification, such as a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree. Related usage includes créditos titulables, the academic credits that count toward completing the degree requirements, and the process of titulación, the awarding of the official degree by an educational authority or institution.

The distinction is often made with respect to non-titulable or non-degree-bearing offerings, such as professional development courses, continuing education certificates, or other activities that do not confer an official degree. Some universities also offer títulos propios (own degrees) that may be issued by the institution but are not always considered official degrees under national accreditation schemes.

The concept of titulables is central to enrollment planning, accreditation, and student mobility, affecting catalogs, degree requirements, and transfer of credits under systems such as ECTS or local credit frameworks.
