We Put You First

In our small classes, you're a person, not a number. Here you'll get caring, one-on-one attention from an experienced faculty. And you'll get an atmosphere that is made for learning — relaxed, friendly and comfortable.
Classes When You Need Them — Where You Want Them

We know you have a busy schedule. That's why we offer classes at lots of convenient times ... days, nights and weekends. You can even take our credit classes on TV or over the Internet. And, with seven colleges and even more community campuses throughout the county, we're close to home and work.

Tuition That's Affordable

We work hard to deliver the best education at a price everyone can afford. At just $123 a course (a three-hour credit course for Dallas County residents), a DCCCD degree is the best bargain in town. We also offer a variety of grants, loans, scholarships and work-study programs to help you meet your goals.

Hundreds of Courses

We offer more than 120 technical and academic programs — in career fields that are in demand right now. You'll be able to enter the job market with skills that put you in a challenging and rewarding career. Check out the DCCCD catalog for a full list of degree programs.

Experienced Faculty

Our professors know their stuff — and not just from graduate degrees and books. Most have worked in their fields for years. They keep pace with the job market. With technology. With what's really out there for you.

Top-Notch Resources

We provide a wide variety of resources to help you make the most of your college experience. Our libraries feature the latest reference tools. DCCCD's online services let you register for classes, check your grades or pay tuition from the nearest computer. And at our Career Centers, you can plan for your post-college future.

It All Begins Here
