TCC is the sixth-largest college or university in Texas, and the 15th-largest in the nation, yet maintains a 26:1 student-to-professor ratio. Students have access to award-winning faculty and programs consistently recognized among the best in the nation. TCC offers more than 70 fields of study and dozens of extracurricular clubs and associations from which to choose.

With more than 250 online courses, as well as weekend courses, class is always in session at TCC. By attending TCC’s new Weekend College, students can earn their associate degree in 18 months or less, just by going to class on the weekend.

Don’t want to pay big university prices to get the basics under your belt? The average cost for students enrolled in 15 credit hours at TCC is $825, compared to $3,400 – $17,300 at other local schools. Students often change majors in their first two years, but TCC eliminates the fear of sacrificing thousands in additional tuition dollars for students who change their course of study.

No matter your age or challenges, success is within reach at TCC. Visit www.tccd.edu to explore the opportunities TCC can provide.

EXPERIENCE WORKS AT LINCOLN

Hands-on training for real-world career success: build the experience employers demand.

REAL-WORLD CAREERS BUILT ON TECHNICAL SKILLS: Automotive Technology Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology CNC Machining & Manufacturing Technology Diesel & Truck Technology Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating Technology (HVAC)

“Our facilities have much of the same equipment today’s professionals use, so graduates have the advantage of hands-on experience,” says Paul McGuirk, President of the Grand Prairie campus. “Employers want qualified candidates with complex skills developed through the kind of training Lincoln provides.”

Lincoln students train in real-world, industry-specific facilities: fully-equipped auto and diesel bays; individual welding booths; the HAAS CNC Technology Center; and the “Green House” for HVAC students developing green technology skills. Lincoln’s Career Services team helps students develop skills such as résumé writing and interview strategies while working to match them with employers in and around the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Lincoln also helps students chart a course to their new career, including financing options to help pay the costs of career training: Lincoln has offered more than $12 million in scholarships nationwide in 2014. Admissions representatives help prospective students understand how the investment in training can translate to better careers and stronger salaries.

The Grand Prairie campus is located at 2915 Alouette Drive. For additional information about Lincoln’s career training programs, visit lincolnedu.com.
