Overview
Temple College is a public community college in Temple, Texas, serving Central Texas from its main campus at 2600 South First Street and a second teaching location in Hutto.
The college offers more than 80 associate degree and certificate programs, ranging from university transfer pathways in the arts, sciences and business to hands-on workforce training in fields such as allied health, computer technology and criminal justice. Each credential is published as a guided pathway map that lays out courses term by term, so students can plan their route to a certificate, an Associate of Arts, an Associate of Science, an Associate of Applied Science or an Associate of Teaching.
Academic programs are organised into divisions, including Fine Arts, which covers studio art, music, theatre and communications, and Business and Career Professions, which covers business, computer information systems and criminal justice. High school students can start early through the dual credit program, which runs in partnership with area school districts, and through the Texas Bioscience Institute middle college, a competitive STEM-focused track in which participants can earn college credit toward an associate degree before finishing high school.
Eligible dual credit students may qualify for state-funded assistance through the FAST program.
The college states its mission as fostering student success for a diverse community through quality lifelong learning, and it describes its vision as a community college offering high-value credentials that lead to in-demand careers and successful transfer.
