Greetings from the Panhandle of Texas!  Our college’s motto, “Start Here. . .Go Anywhere,” truly reflects our faculty, staff, and administration’s desire for student success.  Frank Phillips College serves over 3,000 students each semester, 1,500 transfer degree-seeking students and approximately 1,500 applied science, workforce and certificate students.  FPC provides a diverse cultural background for students attending college, with students typically representing 15-17 countries and 34-39 states annually. 

Models of student success are clearly present in the classroom and on the athletic field and court.  FPC provides seven Division I intercollegiate athletic programs, which are sanctioned by the National Junior College Athletic Association.  The curricula offerings at FPC range literally from “a to z” with programs of study from agriculture to zoology coupled with numerous technical and occupational programs.

I invite you to communicate with any of our staff regarding your interests in FPC.  Like our motto and our campus environment reflect, one can, “Start Here. . .Go Anywhere!”

Dr. Herbert J. Swender, Sr.
President
