Academics
El Centro College’s main campus, founded in 1966, is located in downtown Dallas. The El Centro Bill Priest campus is situated just south of downtown Dallas. There is also a West Dallas campus that serves as the only on the West side of the city.
The college’s academic programs can be stepping stones for students wanting to transfer to four-year institutions, for continuing education students seeking courses for personal development, high school students looking to receive dual credit for high school completion and college credit, or students interested in earning associate degrees or certificates to take on entry-level positions in the workplace. Whatever the goal, ECC has a program designed to achieve it.
For degree seeking students, the college offers several degrees, including associate in arts, associate of applied science, and associate in science. In addition, the school offers continuing education students courses to enhance their professional skills, as well as distance learning for students seeking a flexible learning environment by taking courses strictly online.
High school students wanting to get a jump start toward higher education can do so with the Dual Credit program. This program is designed for juniors and seniors seeking dual credit for high school completion while earning college credit that can count towards a degree at a four-year institution.
