Tulsa Community College

Established in 1970, Tulsa Community College serves more Oklahomans than any other college in the state as a vital link to workforce development and university transfer for northeast Oklahoma. With more than 20,000 students enrolled in credit courses each year, TCC provides access to an affordable college education through four main campuses, community campuses and online options. In fact, 67% of graduating students complete TCC debt free. Known for its tuition-free Tulsa Achieves Scholarship which saves students thousands of dollars to reach their educational goals, TCC meets the same rigorous academic standards as all of the surrounding regional four-year institutions. The College has been recognized as the winner of two national Awards of Excellence from the American Association of Community Colleges in 2021 and selected as one of 30 community colleges for the inaugural Pathways Project, a national initiative funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
