The purpose of the study was to examine the educational attainment rates of Hispanic and Black students in Texas 2-year colleges from the 2009 through the 2014 academic years. The number of career colleges in Texas increased from 52 in the 2009 academic year to a total of 80 career colleges in the 2014 academic year. Along with increases in the number of career colleges, the total numbers of Hispanic and Black students who attained a certificate or a degree during this time period also increased. The average number of Hispanic and Black students who obtained a degree or certificate from Texas 2year career colleges rose steadily until reaching a high of 155.32 degrees and/or certificates attained for Hispanic students in the 2011 academic year and a high of 64.19 degrees and/or certificates attained for Black students in the 2012 academic year. Over twice as many Hispanic students than Black students obtained a degree or certificate from Texas career colleges in the 6-year period analyzed in this investigation. Over the 6-year period of the 2009 through the 2014 academic years, the average percentage of Hispanic and Black students who obtained a degree or certificate from Texas 2-year career colleges fluctuated. Implications of these results, as well as recommendations for future research, were discussed.
