Graduation Recap
May 15, 2015
A record-overflow crowd of graduates of Tarrant County College, their families and friends learned about the College’s historical significance since 1965 from TCC’s Board of Trustees during the 47th Annual Spring Commencement on Friday, May 15, at the Fort Worth Convention Center.
TCC graduates from the Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences (TABS) became the first high school students to receive their associate degrees from TABS. TABS is a collaborative educational opportunity between TCC, Fort Worth Independent School District, the University of North Texas Health Science Center and the University of North Texas.
The TABS graduates joined another 32 Early High School Graduates from Marine Creek High School for a total of 6,151 TCC graduates receiving associate degrees and certificates of completion for the summer and fall 2014 and spring 2015. The total is 16 percent more than the actual 5,969 students who graduated in spring 2014. Of the number of graduates this spring, 14 percent more are graduating because of TCC’s special outreach efforts to eligible graduates to ensure they know when they have met graduation requirements.
