Texarkana College

Today, education beyond high school is not just a preference; it’s a requirement for most fields. Statistics show that people earn much more over their lifetimes with each higher level of educational attainment. In fact, workers who have an associate degree make an average of $500,000 more in their lifetime than those with only a high school diploma or less.

Since 1927, Texarkana College has provided high quality, affordable and accessible education to residents of the Ark-La-Tex. Texarkana College blows the competition away in affordability. In a time when students are graduating from four-year colleges and universities with massive amounts of debt, we offer a substantial discount on the first two years of a bachelor’s degree.

Texarkana College offers furnished efficiency apartments within easy walking distance to any building on campus. The campus apartments offer efficiency styled living to 12 students. One student is assigned to each apartment, which has its own private bathroom facilities, in addition to a small kitchenette area. All utilities and wireless Internet are included. Telephone lines are not provided but may be set up with local phone service at the resident’s expense. The complex houses both male and female students. The parking lot and entrance are well lit at night and the Texarkana College Campus Police are on duty 24 hours a day to help ensure the safety of the residents. A modern shopping mall is located near campus that offers a variety of food, apparel, and services.

It is our goal to more efficiently and effectively serve the education needs of the residents of Cass County. Both Academic Credit and Continuing Education CEU course offerings will continue to be the focal point of both the daytime and evening course offerings at the TC on Main Extension Site. This extension site is open and staffed five days a week by professional admissions staff.
