Alumni and Friends

See How We Have Grown

After finishing their degrees or programs at Collin College, our alumni successfully transfer to institutions, such as UNT, SMU, UT, Berkley, Stanford, Julliard, Tulane, Amherst, and others as well as pursue bright careers. Education and learning never ends and many of our alumni return to Collin College for continuing education, cultural events and enrichment courses. If it has been a while since you've visited a campus, you may not know how much Collin College has grown. We now have:
