About This School
Dallas College is a public institution located in Dallas, Texas with approximately 41,815 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,146 per year. The graduation rate is 36%, and the typical graduate earns $34,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
Dallas College is a public community college with seven campuses in Dallas County, Texas. It serves more than 70,000 students annually in degree-granting, continuing education, and adult education programs.
This is a strong option for cost-conscious students — at just $4,146/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, it's one of the most affordable paths to a degree or transfer in the Dallas area. The 89% freshman retention rate suggests students are generally satisfied once they're in, but the 36% graduation rate is a real concern and worth asking about before enrolling. If you have a clear plan — whether that's transferring to a four-year school or completing a specific workforce program — this school can deliver solid value; without that focus, the odds of finishing are not in your favor.
