Collin Higher Education Center
In January 2010, Collin College opened the doors to its much-anticipated Higher Education Center, located at the intersection of Central Expressway and State Hwy. 121 in McKinney.
The Higher Education Center hosts – among other things – a number of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs from four North Texas universities: Texas A&M University-Commerce, Texas Woman’s University, The University of Texas at Dallas and the University of North Texas.
Offerings vary per university. Programs range from communications, teaching, management, Spanish, psychology, child development, counseling, nursing, criminal justice, business administration and accounting.

Famous quotes containing the words higher, education and/or center:
“The true thrift is always to spend on the higher plane; to invest and invest, with keener avarice, that he may spend in spiritual creation, and not in augmenting animal existence. Nor is the man enriched, in repeating the old experiments of animal sensation; nor unless through new powers and ascending pleasures he knows himself by the actual experience of higher good to be already on the way to the highest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One of the greatest faults of the women of the present time is a silly fear of things, and one object of the education of girls should be to give them knowledge of what things are really dangerous.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“I don’t think America’s the center of the world anymore. I think African women will lead the way [in] ... women’s liberation ... The African woman, she’s got a country, she’s got the flag, she’s got her own army, got the navy. She doesn’t have a racism problem. She’s not afraid that if she speaks up, her man will say goodbye to her.”
—Faith Ringgold (b. 1934)
