About Us
who we are and where we're going
Our main campus is located in Ranger, with satellite campuses in Brown County and Erath County. We are one of the fastest growing colleges in Texas!
Ranger College occupies a 50-acre campus within the city limits of Ranger, an Eastland County community of approximately 2,500 people located just north of Interstate 20 between Fort Worth and Abilene. The beautifully wooded, rolling hills and several lakes provide ample opportunities for hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation, while the City of Ranger boasts an excellent school system and several active churches.
Ranger College, one of the oldest continuously operating public two-year colleges in the state of Texas, opened its doors on the third floor of Ranger High School in August, 1925, with 30 students enrolled. Much has taken place since that austere beginning. Today the campus in Ranger serves several counties in north central Texas and awards the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of Applied Science degrees. Students on campus may live in the college's dormitories and enjoy the college dining facilities or live at home and commute.
In addition to the Ranger facility, the college provides comprehensive course offerings in Brown County in Early and in Erath County in Stephenville. Ranger also has available a continuous enrollment cosmetology program in Brownwood and at our Erath County site in Stephenville. Included in its curriculum, as well, the college now offers Associate Degree Nursing (RN) at the Brown County facility. Comprehensive Vocational Nursing programs are offered in Brown County and at our center in Comanche. The college operates a Commercial Truck Driving Program in Early and in Stephenville.
Ranger College has experienced tremendous growth in recent years throughout the district. Especially notable has been the rapid increase in dual enrollment at the 24 Independent School Districts served by the institution. In spite of all the growth and development, Ranger College maintains one of the lowest tuition and fee costs in Texas.
