Whether you are seven or seventy, Lufkin has ample
opportunity for you to continue to expand your
educational wants with one of the best community
colleges in the
state – Angelina College!
Angelina College
Angelina College, a
two-year institution founded in 1966, has upgraded its
educational facilities and is highly regarded for its
health care, technical and industrial training programs.
Many of the college’s students complete their education
at Stephen F. Austin State University, only 20 miles
away in neighboring Nacogdoches.
One of the fastest
growing community colleges in the state, Angelina
College continues to expand through new construction and
new programs.
Two of the buildings
funded through a $10.5 million bond election, the
Workforce Development Center and the Community
Services building, have been open for over for two
years. A new Activity Center nears completion, and work
has been completed on a Performing Arts Center in
partnership with the Angelina County Arts
Alliance.
Angelina College’s
credit enrollment is now over the 4,000 mark. The
college offers transfer and vocational classes and
affordable cost. Community Services short courses are
available for continuing education, providing job
skills, and for recreation.
Located on 140-wooded
acres on Highway 59 South in Lufkin, the college offers
2-year Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and
Associate of Applied Science degrees, and certificates
of completion.
Community
Services Division at Angelina College
The Community Services
Division provides Angelina College's economic

and organizations in East Texas.
The division offers

entrance requirements for adults who wish to take a
course. However, some prerequisites, including age and
educational level, mandated by the State of Texas, are
required for certain health occupation courses.
The community service
division office publishes a schedule of offerings fall,
spring and summer and does advertising and promotion of
offerings. The division office prepares instructional
materials and offers certificates of completion to
students. The office also reserves and prepares college
facilities for use by outside persons, groups and
organizations.
Course Schedules and

offerings are available a month prior to the beginning
of each semester. The schedule can be picked up in the

sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified
instruction". The C.E.U. is a means of recording and
accounting for the various continuing education
activities that one accumulated over a period of years,
in transcript form.
