TCC groups its more than 80 programmes into five career pathways:

Students can complete high school, earn professional-technical certificates, or take associate's and bachelor's degrees, including transfer degrees for moving on to a four-year university. High school students can earn college credit through TCC in the High School, Fresh Start and Running Start, and the Adult Basic Education programme covers English language learning (ELA) and the GED.

TCC has an open-door admissions policy: every student who applies is accepted.

Scholarships, grants and other financial aid are available. New students get admissions help at the Welcome Center (Building 8). Student life includes Titan athletics teams such as soccer and volleyball.
