FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 4, 2024

South College will open its first campus in Texas in the Dallas area to bring the institution’s presence to eight cities and nine physical campuses nationwide, plus Online and Competency-Based Education (CBE) offerings.

The Dallas campus, temporarily located at 1501-1507 Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway at Park West 1 & 2 buildings in Farmers Branch, Texas, is set to welcome students starting in early 2025 as the college continues its mission to provide accessible, high-quality education to diverse communities.

“The addition of our Dallas campus extends South College’s reach to more students who are eager to pursue rewarding careers in healthcare and other fields,” South College Chancellor Steve South said. “We are committed to delivering high-quality education and providing a supportive environment that empowers students to achieve their goals.”
