Texas College is one of the original 27 private historically black colleges organized under the United Negro College Fund in 1944. Texas College awards baccalaureate degrees in the arts and the sciences to students in one of its four major divisions-General Studies and Humanities, Business and Social Sciences, Natural and Computational Sciences and Education.

The College also awards associate degrees in early childhood education and general studies. Attention is given to a common base of general knowledge in the liberal arts, upon which a program of generalization can be built. To this end, a common core of academic foundations courses must be completed satisfactorily by all students regardless of degree plans.
