On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the faculty, staff, and students, I am pleased to welcome you to an exploration of the many programs and services provided by Temple College. A true community college, TC offers quality educational opportunities to fulfill the aspirations of virtually every student.

If your goal is to pursue a baccalaureate or higher degree, Temple College is a point of access for numerous professional fields, including medicine, law, education, business, engineering, and the arts. Known for more than eighty years for its exceptional ability to prepare students for upper-level, university study, Temple College has consistently lived up to its reputation for academic excellence.

If your interest is technical study, Temple College offers numerous options, including programs in the Health Professions, Computer Information Systems, Computer Assisted Design and GIS, Criminal Justice, Business and Management, and Early Childhood Development. Our strengthening relationship with business, industry, and the professions assures the competitiveness of our programs and increases the probability of employment. Temple College has consistently enjoyed an annual placement rate for students completing technical programs of more than 95 percent.

If you need short-term training or re-training in a specific field, Temple College offers ongoing opportunities in partnership with local business and industry. If you wish to improve your basic skills before entering college or simply improve your employability, we offer programs in Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language, and G.E.D. preparation. And if your interests are purely avocational or recreational, there are numerous programs available through the Office of Continuing Education.

Founded in 1926, Temple College offers a sense of history and tradition combined with unprecedented progress in the development of technological support for instruction. It is truly an exciting time to be at Temple College, and I invite you to experience not only the quality of instruction but the many other opportunities on campus for personal enrichment through student organizations and activities, cultural and athletic events, forums and workshops.

I hope that you will join us on the main campus, or at one of our centers in Taylor, Cameron, or downtown Temple, or perhaps, through the wonders of telecommunication, from a location most convenient to you. Our commitment at Temple College is quite simple, to make a difference in the life of each individual student. We look forward to an opportunity to assist you.
