Health Sciences & Nursing community-college programs in Texas

49 community colleges in Texas report awarding credentials in Health Sciences & Nursing. Two-year nursing, allied health, and medical assisting programs that lead directly to in-demand clinical careers. The list below ranks them by share of total credentials awarded in this field — a directional measure of program scale and focus.

If you are choosing a Health Sciences & Nursing program in Texas, weigh program-specific accreditation, clinical or apprenticeship placement, and the institution's articulation agreements with Texas public universities (for transfer-bound students) or its local employer relationships (for occupational tracks). Within Texas published tuition tends to fall in a tight range, so the program-quality questions usually matter more than cost. The ranked list below is a useful starting point but should not substitute for a campus visit and a conversation with the program advisor.
