About Cisco College

About Cisco College Cisco Junior College was established in 1940. R. N. Cluck, superintendent of Cisco schools, who had devoted years to the project, became its first president. The college was formally opened in September, 1939, and the first students were admitted in 1940. Such was the success of this venture that in 1956 the college was separated from the public schools and a Board of Regents was elected. Since that time the high quality, low cost, state supported educational programs have enabled the College to satisfy the needs of students from its rural service area, from across Texas, and beyond. In 2004, Cisco Junior College opened a permanent location for the Abilene Educational Center, a 77,000 square foot facility owned by the College in Abilene, Texas. In 2009, the College dropped the “junior” designator from its name, becoming Cisco College. A 9,000 square foot addition to the Abilene campus was completed in 2011, and is used mainly as the home of the Nursing and Allied Health programs. In addition to these programs, academic degrees and career and technical certifications are offered. The College also works closely with the Texas Workforce Commission and many regional employers to provide both credit and non-credit classes in numerous career fields.
