Transforming lives and communities” is not just a mission at Dallas College, it is both a privilege and responsibility. For over 55 years, the institution has served as a great connector of opportunity, utilizing an array of programs, services and partnerships to solidify the classroom-to-career pipeline.

With increasing demands from an everchanging economy, the seven-campus-institution’s role in providing students with a quality education – and supplying the local workforce with top talent – has never been more crucial.
