 In 1965, the citizens of central Texas joined together to authorize the building of a community college that would serve Bell, Coryell, Lampasas, Mills and seven other central Texas counties as well as Fort hood and the correctional facilities in Gatesville. The campus was constructed on 560 acres of land donated by Fort Hood through the Department of Education and with funds supplied through a local $2 million bond issue.
Central Texas College has maintained its accredited status with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) since first being awarded accreditation in 1968, and was reaffirmed most recently in December 1994.
For more than 30 years, Central Texas College has educated students in Hospitality Management. Our Hospitality Management program offers an Associate in Applied Science in Hospitality Management with four areas of specialization. These include Restaurant and Culinary Management, Food Service Management, Food and Beverage Management, and Hotel Management.

While our students pursue their Associate Degrees, we have established several Certificate Programs which act as a "stepping stone" towards achieving their degree. These certificates range from 21 to 41 credit hours, enabling our students to put their education to work for them in a shorter period of time. These include Property Management, Institutional Food service Operations, Culinary Arts, Rooms Division Management, Food and Beverage Management, Restaurant Skills, Travel and Ticketing, and Dietary Manager.
We have completed a course conversion through a state-mandated program (WECM) which standardized course descriptions and format. The purpose of the WECM conversion is to require that all courses be constructed to require the acceptance of credit transferability. This means that if you take a course with Central Texas College and are awarded course credit, the credit hours will transfer to any accredited college in the state.
