Texas A&M University-CommerceLocated just 10-miles from Greenville is Texas A&M University-Commerce, a four-year institution that offers over 130 doctorate, masters and bachelors degree programs. Many students are able to work part-time while taking classes, too, which offers employers an additional quality labor pool.

The Paris Junior College, Greenville Center teaches approximately 1,000 students with basic college-level courses, and offers two-year associate degrees, as well as an opportunity for students to earn credits toward their transfer to a four-year institution.

                       

 

The Greenville Board of Development works closely with the North Central Texas Workforce and the State of Texas to identify special training needs of employers and prospective businesses. Oftentimes, federal and state funds can be provided to train or re-train employees.

Greenville boasts strong public and private schools for younger students as well. The Greenville Independent School District is noted for its ability to produce creative problem-solving graduates. Several students have participated in award-winning extracurricular activities, including the annual Destination Imagination and FIRST Robotics competitions.

The Greenville Christian School; Phoenix School; Mineral Heights Christian Academy; St. Paul’s Episcopal School; and Creative Learning Academy also provide a quality education, producing students that have excelled in both academic and extracurricular activities. These schools offer families an alternative education in a smaller classroom setting.

Greenville offers educational opportunities across the board, whether for skills development or for higher education. It’s one more way Greenville can add value to its excellent location.
