Offering a variety of degrees and certificates in a wide range of disciplines, Collin College operates several campuses and centers throughout the county, including locations in Plano, McKinney, and Frisco. Many local students start their college journey at Collin College to complete their general education requirements, then transfer to a four-year institution.
