About

Victoria College, located in Victoria, Texas, was founded in 1925 and originally was known as Victoria Junior College.

As a result, the school was given its own campus, and changed its name to Victoria College. The school maintains two additional campuses in Port Lavaca and Gonzales, to better service the multi-county service area of the school.
