More than 79,000 students rely on ACC for their education every year. With 85% of ACC graduates staying in Texas, the college continues to serve as the region’s top trainer and re-trainer for high-demand careers. ACC students become the teachers, nurses, accountants, tradespeople, business owners, and more who power the Central Texas economy.
Over the years, the way we’ve served our students has evolved just as the challenges facing Central Texans have also changed. We know that students need more than classes and grades to succeed – they need a community in which they can take root and grow.
As our students have changed, so has our mission – to love our students to success.
