The overview
Tarrant County College has 49,393 students enrolled for the fall 2025 semester, according to a news release from the college. Student enrollment is counted from the 12th class day of the semester, Sept. 10, for 2025.
About 12,500 students in the college are dual enrolled through dual credit classes or early college high school, the same estimate from 2024.
“We’re providing access and opportunity for students who otherwise might not have the chance to earn a higher education,” Chancellor Elva LeBlanc said. “We’re equipping them with the education they need to be career ready from the moment they graduate or transfer to a four-year institution.”
Put in perspective
While the fall 2025 semester has more students than the previous year, Tarrant County College saw a higher percentage of growth from 2023 to 2024.
“Growth seen in prior fall terms was driven more by increases in dual enrolled students, whereas growth from fall 2024 to fall 2025 was driven more by an increase in non-dual enrolled students,” Holly Stovall, the executive director of institutional research at Tarrant County College, said in an email.
The college has seen a 22% increase in student enrollment since 2021, according to the news release.
Enrollment is expected to continue to increase for the fall 2025 semester because of multiple start dates for different programs at the college. Registration for the second eight-week term continues through Oct. 16.
