Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) is the largest undergraduate institution in the state of Texas. DCCCD seven colleges – Brookhaven, Cedar Valley, Eastfield, El Centro, Mountain View, North Lake and Richland – plus the R. Jan LeCroy Center for Educational Telecommunications. Since 1965, they have served more than 1.5 million people. DCCCD’s seven colleges enroll more than 100,000 credit and noncredit students every semester, making it one of the largest higher education institutions in the state of Texas. The District’s direct impact on the community adds approximately $1.5 billion to the area’s economy annually, including current operations and past student productivity (contributions through increased salaries and wages, based on educational levels), according to a 2002 report funded by the Texas Association of Community Colleges. Four decades of growth and progress are a credit to the vision of Dallas area citizens. DCCCD’s student population, which mirrors the faces of the community, is diverse: 24.3 percent Hispanic, 23.9 percent African-American, 8.4 percent Asian, 39.9 percent Anglo and 3.4 percent all others combined. The district is approaching a similar level of diversity among our employees: 22.1 percent African-American, 13.6 percent Hispanic, 4.2 percent Asian, 58.8 percent Anglo and 1.3 percent all others combined.
