Sept. 23, 2021 – Collin College continues to be recognized as one of the best higher education employers in the nation, according to a survey by The Great Colleges to Work For® program. This is the third year in a row that the college has been recognized by the program.

The survey, conducted by ModernThink, examines best practices and policies in a wide variety of areas using survey results from faculty and staff. Collin College was one of 70 institutions of higher learning to earn the Great Colleges to Work For® distinction among 196 surveyed. Collin College’s survey results were grouped among “large colleges” with 10,000 or more students.

“I could not be more proud of our incredible faculty, staff, and administrators, who are among the most devoted I have ever had the privilege of working beside,” Collin College’s District President Dr. Neil Matkin said. “Their generosity of spirit, professional dedication to their craft, and strong work ethic is amazing. It is a privilege to work alongside these colleagues devoted to our mission of delivering a brighter future for our students and communities.”

The survey results are based on the combination of two assessment instruments: a survey administered to faculty and staff and an institution audit that details various institutional demographics, policies and practices.

The Great Colleges to Work For® program is one of the largest and most respected workplace-recognition programs in the country.

ModernThink, a strategic human capital consulting firm, ad­mini­stered the survey and analyzed the results.

Collin College serves more than 56,000 credit and continuing education students an­nually and offers more than 100 degrees and certificates, including new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) in Cybersecurity degrees. The only public college based in Collin County, Collin College is a partner to business, govern­ment and industry, providing customized training and workforce development.
