Texas State Technical College (www.tstc.edu) consists of four technical: TSTC Harlingen, TSTC Marshall, TSTC Waco, and TSTC West Texas. TSTC colleges rank consistently as top colleges in the state and nation for conferring associate degrees in engineering, precision production, computer information systems degrees, communication and information sciences, and enrollment of Hispanic students. More than 17,000 students attend TSTC each year in credit programs alone, and that number grows to nearly 30,000 when short-term continuing education and corporate training programs are included.
TSTC West Texas has four campuses located in Abilene, Breckenridge, Brownwood, and Sweetwater.
Abilene
The Abilene campus consists of 60,000 square feet of useable space for instructional, administrative and support services, as well as 13.5 acres of land. TSTC West Texas Abilene offers an environment small enough to provide quality instruction along with the feeling of belonging to a family where staff and faculty know you by name!
Breckenridge
The small, student-oriented campus features educational opportunities in Chemical Dependency Counseling, Computer Aided Drafting, Construction Management Technology, Digital Imaging & Design, Environmental Science Technology, Health Information Technology, Software and Business Accounting, and Vocational Nursing. A new program for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) will be available by the summer of 2011 and a facilities expansion project is currently underway which will provide for the growth of the existing Allied Health and Environmental Technology programs.
Brownwood
The Brownwood Center takes an active role in employee training and retraining with companies throughout West Central Texas. Consortiums of companies throughout West Central Texas are constantly being formed to help train existing employees and new employees by the thousands to strengthen the capabilities of the workforce in the area. In addition to the industrial consortium the Brownwood Center is part of a Hospital Consortium that will train/retrain health care employees in local and area hospitals. Overall, our adult continuing education courses, workshops and workforce development courses serve approximately 3,600 students/employees.
Sweetwater
The TSTC West Texas Sweetwater Campus is the residential campus of the four West Texas locations. The Sweetwater Campus offers Associate Degrees and Certificates of Completion in more than twenty different majors, within five different divisions.
