ABOUT THE EL PASO COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACT BOOK
The Fact Book is designed to provide a “snapshot” of the Fall 2017 semester at the El Paso Community College. This
current edition focuses solely on Fall 2017, although several tables and charts do provide data for a full year.
The College’s Office of Institutional Planning, in collaboration with the Office of Institutional Research, created this
publication using data from student records, the EPCC Dashboards, along with information from the U.S. Census
Bureau, and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Both offices have made every effort to ensure the
accuracy of the information.
The Fact Book is divided into two major sections. The first section displays a teal border at the bottom of each page
and focuses on data for the El Paso County located in El Paso, Texas. The second section focuses on students
attending the El Paso Community College and displays a light blue border at the bottom of each page.
It is with pride that we present the Fall 2017 Fact Book. We encourage you to review this publication in its entirety to
appreciate all that the El Paso Community College has to offer the community and surrounding areas.
Published in August 2018
