TCC is the largest provider of higher education and workforce development services in Hampton Roads, enrolling nearly 25,000 students annually—the second largest undergraduate student body in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Ninety-eight percent of graduates would recommend TCC to those continuing their education. TCC has 13 nationally accredited programs. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award the associate degree, and among two-year institutions in the U.S. More than half of TCC graduates receive associate degrees allowing them to transfer to four-year institutions; of those, two-thirds continue their education at four-year schools. In the workplace, employers consistently express high levels of satisfaction with employees who are TCC graduates.
