ABOUT THE EL PASO COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACT BOOK 

The Fact Book is designed to provide a “snapshot” of the Fall 2016 semester at the El Paso Community College.  While 

previous Fact Books have included a full year of information, this current version focuses on Fall 2016, 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 2016 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 September 2017
