By rssfeeds-admin “Among all 50 Texas public community colleges, Texarkana College ranks FIRST in student graduation rates for both 3-year and 6-year cohorts!” said Texarkana College President Dr. Jason Smith. “This is a truly remarkable achievement and a testament to the exceptional work being done at Texarkana College. From our dedicated faculty to our support staff, every member of the TC family has contributed to this success. It’s a victory for all of us.”
“It is hard to get to number one in any ranking of Texas community colleges, much less stay there, but we have been #1 three times and in the top five nine times in the last 10 years,” said Vice President of Instruction Dr. Dixon Boyles. “Our faculty deserve a huge amount of credit because our completion rates are a direct reflection of their commitment to getting our students on track and supporting them until they successfully complete.
“You cannot overstate the importance of completing a college degree for our students, their families, and our region. Economic development is closely tied to an educated workforce, and Texarkana College is proud to improve the future of everyone in our region, especially our students.”
The release added that TC’s 2024 3-year completion rate is 53.9% compared to the state average of 30.3%. TC’s 4-year completion rate is 45.7% compared to the state average of 36.8%, and TC’s 6-year completion rate is 58.2% compared to the state average of 44.2%. TC’s completion rates are up across the board from 2023’s results, which were 37.8% (3-yr), 45.5% (4-yr), and 50.8% (6-yr).
“From our faculty who inspire students in the classroom, to our enrollment services team guiding students through their first steps, and our support services staff providing care and resources, this accomplishment reflects a shared dedication to student success,” Dr. Smith said. “Every helping hand and word of encouragement matters.”
