What Texarkana College does

Texarkana College is a public two-year community college founded in 1927 and headquartered in Texarkana, Texas, serving a four-state border region spanning Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The institution delivers associate degrees (Arts, Science, Applied Science), certificates, and workforce training across five academic divisions — Health Sciences, Liberal & Performing Arts, Social Sciences, STEM & Business, and Workforce Education — plus community education and adult literacy. Programs are offered through traditional 16-week semesters, accelerated 8-week classes, dual credit partnerships with regional high schools, and online distance education (enabled by NC-SARA membership). The college also operates a satellite location at TexAmericas Center for workforce programming and is an authorized DANTES CLEP testing center serving military personnel.

Underlying technology includes a learning management system, student information systems, and a proprietary Early Alert System that applies predictive analytics to attendance and grade data to identify at-risk students for faculty-advisor intervention. The institution is SACSCOC-accredited, FERPA- and Title IX-compliant, and recognized as a 2021 Achieving the Dream Leader College of Distinction and a multiple-time recipient of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's 'Highest 3-Year Graduation Rate' award (49.7% in 2019, more than double the state average of 22.8%).

Texarkana College operates a publicly funded revenue model combining tuition and fees ($54/credit hour in-district), Texas state legislative appropriations ($9.30M for 2024-2025), local property tax revenue from the taxing district, and federal Title IV financial aid (Pell Grants, loans, work-study). Go-to-market is sales-led through campus tours, high school recruitment, an Educational Opportunity Center for first-generation students, multi-channel digital marketing (HubSpot, Google Analytics, remarketing), and community engagement across the four-state region. Customer segments span recent high school graduates, adult/returning learners, dual credit high school students, students requiring academic support, and military/veteran populations, served by approximately 474 employees.
