Clarendon College sits in the Texas Panhandle (Clarendon, population 2,000) and serves students who are not running from small towns—they're building careers in them or near them. The college is tiny (under 1,000 students), which means you're not a number. Class sizes are 15–25. Instructors know you. The tuition is cheap. The environment is conservative, practical, and Christian-oriented (it has historical ties to the church).
You'll find agriculture, business, nursing, and general academics. The two-year path is standard: finish prerequisites, transfer to Texas Tech or another four-year, or graduate with an associate and work. Dorm living is available and part of the experience. This is rural Texas college life—know what you're signing up for.
