In 1935, what was to become Kilgore College was the idea of Mr. W. L. Dodson and the community of Kilgore, Texas. Since the early part of the century, “KC” has become recognized as one of the finest two-year institutions in the South. Our campuses, located in Kilgore and Longview, continue to serve many students from not only the surrounding area, but also throughout Texas, across the United States, and internationally. Expanded opportunities for students to enroll through distance education has positioned Kilgore College as a leader in innovation and learning.
In the beginning, the curriculum was designed to serve university-bound students; today, the college also offers education and training in a wide variety of career and technical programs and short-term workforce development certificates. Excellent student services extend from admissions through advising to completion and graduation. Student scholarships and aid have increased significantly through the committed work of generous donors and the Kilgore College Foundation.
We are also the home of an excellent athletic program that most recently saw the Men’s Basketball Team competing at the National tournament in Hutchison, Kansas. Tradition and Kilgore College history are honored through the performances and outreach of the world-famous Kilgore College Rangerettes, and the cultural and educational programming of the East Texas Oil Museum. KC is also home to The Texas Shakespeare Festival and its seasonal offerings continue to engage audiences by providing a high-caliber theatrical experience for performers and patrons alike.
We commit to be the higher education institution of choice in Northeast Texas.
Students are expected to assist in maintaining an environment that is conducive to learning. Inappropriate or distractive behavior is prohibited in order to assure that everyone has an opportunity to gain from time spent in the course.

Kilgore College seeks to provide equal educational and employment opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, veteran status or genetic information.

Kilgore College’s main campus is at 1100 Broadway, Kilgore, TX, in Gregg County. Kilgore, a city of more than 14,000, is in the northeast section of the state commonly referred to as the Piney Woods. This area is one of the most scenic in Texas with its pine and hardwood forests, lakes, rivers, streams, and hills. The area is also rich in natural resources. Kilgore lies in the middle of what was once one of the most productive oil fields in the continental United States.
Located four miles south of Interstate 20 on US Hwy. 259, Kilgore is 120 miles east of Dallas, TX, 70 miles west of Shreveport, LA, and 10 miles southwest of Longview, TX, a city of over 82,000 residents.
KC-Longview, at 300 S. High in Longview, also offers day and evening courses for workforce education courses/programs, and community education and lifelong learning courses. Kilgore College also offers courses in selected academic transfer, workforce, and adult and continuing community education and lifelong learning programs at area public schools.
