Texarkana College (UTMB)

301 University Blvd, Galveston, TX

Texarkana College is located in Texarkana, Texas. TC serves the twin cities of Texarkana located on each side of the Texas-Arkansas Border.  The school was founded in 1927 and the school experienced steady growth in enrollment until the end of World War II.  After the war, it became apparent to the school administration that returning veterans would require the expansion of the schools facilities and services.

In the late 1950's the school separated from the Texarkana public school system.  By doing so, TC established its own board of trustees to run independently.  The next inflection point for the school came in the early seventies.

In 1971, the school formed a formal partnership with Texas A&M University Texarkana.  A partnership of this nature allowed Texarkana College to offer a wider range of service s and educational opportunities in east Texas. Today the school enrolls over 5000 students annually and is expected to grow further in the years to come.
