The new Round Rock Higher Education Center, a collaboration of Texas State University, Temple College and Austin Community College, opened its doors in August of 2005. This new facility will help meet the needs of higher education within the Round Rock city limits by offering workforce training, certificate, associates, bachelors and master's degree programs.
The prestigious University of Texas is located in Austin, approximately 15 minutes south of Round Rock. While several other colleges and universities, such as St. Edward's University, Concordia Lutheran College, Texas State University-San Marcos and Southwestern University, just to name a few, are local options for collegiate education.
