Texas State University (TXST) and Central Texas College (CTC) have announced a joint expansion of the TXST Local co-enrollment program, creating new opportunities for students in Central Texas to earn both associate and bachelor’s degrees through a coordinated, affordable pathway while allowing students to remain closer to home. TXST Local is Texas State’s co-enrollment program, currently offered in partnership with Collin College, Dallas College, San Jacinto College, and Sul Ross State University. The program allows students to complete more than half of their degree at partner college tuition rates while earning a TXST bachelor’s degree. Additionally, students can access TXST resources including career services, academic support, athletics events, advising, and partner college resources from day one. The addition of Central Texas College marks the program’s continued expansion across the state.
