Choosing a college is one of the most important decisions any student will ever make, and those who choose Collin College will find they made a very Smart Move.

About 45,000 students choose Collin College each year because they find the right combination of programs, innovation and personal attention. In fact, Collin College is the home of two U.S Professors of the Year, one Texas Professor of the Year, two Fulbright Scholars, three Academic All-USA students in five years, five Minnie Stevens Piper Professors and nearly 1,000 outstanding faculty members.

In January 2010, we will open a new “Higher Education Center,” where universities will offer junior- and senior-level college courses as well as graduate and doctoral programs. The opening next spring will bring all of these programs to you without having to commute outside of Collin County. In addition, we have expanded our campuses in Frisco, McKinney and Plano.

For nearly 25 years, Collin College has been the place that local residents turned to for their first college experiences and career changes. This is a very exciting time in our history, and we encourage you to join us as we celebrate our silver anniversary.
