Tarrant County College District (TCC) is a public community college system serving the greater Fort Worth and Tarrant County area in Texas. Founded in 1965, TCC operates five campuses—Northeast, Northwest, South, Southeast, and Trinity River—as well as an online campus and Continuing Education division, collectively serving over 43,000 credit students annually. The college maintains an open admissions policy and offers associate degrees, technical certificates, and workforce training in fields including nursing, business administration, computer science, engineering technology, criminal justice, culinary arts, and liberal arts transfer pathways. As an accredited institution of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), TCC partners with four-year universities throughout the region to facilitate seamless transfer for students seeking bachelor's degrees. The college is a major healthcare education provider for the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with nursing and allied health programs consistently in high demand from regional employers and health systems. TCC does not provide on-campus housing, reflecting its commuter student population of working adults, recent high school graduates, and career changers. The college system uses navy, teal, burgundy, and tan as its official brand colors across campuses. TCC emphasizes affordability and workforce alignment as central to its educational mission, with in-district tuition among the lowest in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
