NCTC recognized by Texas Pathways Institute

North Central Texas College was selected as a recipient of the 2023 ROSE award in Recognition of Scaling Excellence in Pillar 1, Mapping Pathways to Student End Goals. In 2021 and 2023, the Texas Success Center administered a Scale of Adoption Assessment (SOAA) process to better understand how Texas colleges are scaling reform efforts to serve a broader group of students. As such, the SOAA provides a snapshot of systems change activities that have occurred at the institutional level over the past two years. Since 2021, North Central Texas College demonstrates the highest growth rate among Texas community colleges for the essential practices relating to Pillar 1, Mapping Pathways to Student End Goals.

North Central Texas College took a team approach to program mapping to make significant progress, developing clear and informative maps that guide students to and through their goals to further education or to enter the workforce. As a result, all students at North Central Texas College can select a program pathway and make progress in courses in the first year that apply to all the programs in that pathway.

“The Texas Success Center is proud to spotlight North Central Texas College’s commitment to institutional transformation and their efforts to become more student-centered,” said Senior Director of Institutional Strategy for the Texas Association of Community Colleges Christine Bailie, Ed.D.
