Quick Facts
The following table presents selected data from the 2007 National Community College Benchmark Project (NCCBP) comparing Collin College with 177 peer institutions around the nation.

(Interpreting the table: If, for a given NCCBP response, Collin College’s reported value fell at the 10th percentile it means that Collin College’s value was higher than those of 10 percent of its peers. If Collin College’s reported value fell at the 90th percentile, then Collin College’s reported value was higher than 90 percent of its peers).
