Central Texas College

Central Texas College is a public community college located in Killeen, Texas, adjacent to Fort Hood, one of the largest military installations in the United States. The main campus spans 560 acres in a suburban setting and serves both civilian and military students through traditional classroom instruction and distance learning programs. Established in 1965 to meet the educational needs of the growing Central Texas region, the college maintains an open admission policy and offers associate degrees and certificates in career and technical fields, with particular emphasis on allied health, criminal justice, and automotive technology programs. The institution operates multiple campuses across Texas and maintains educational sites on military installations worldwide through its Continental and International Campuses division, though most students attend the main Killeen location where both commuter and on-campus housing options are available.
