PJC’s Vision

PJC’s Mission
Paris
Junior College is an innovative and comprehensive community
college that advances the life-long educational development
of students consistent with their needs, interests, and
abilities while strengthening the economic, social, and
cultural life of its diverse community. The College provides
high-quality, flexible academic transfer and career-focused
educational programs and services through a commitment to
teaching and learning excellence within an accessible and
supportive environment.
In 1924 the Texas Department of Education recognized Paris
Junior College as a standard two-year institution. In the
same year, the Association of Texas Colleges ranked this
college as one of first class. In December 1934, Paris
Junior College was admitted to the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools and has maintained full accreditation
since that time.
The Associate Degree Nursing program, following detailed
self-study and team visitation, achieved full accreditation
by the National League of Nursing in 1978.

More than half of the students enrolled at the Greenville

The Greenville Center also offers a variety of continuing

There is an active chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, a student
Honor Society that is involved in many community service
