As Snyder's own community college, Western Texas College (WTC) provides opportunities for education not only in Snyder and the surrounding communities, but in Texas, the United States, and nations across the globe. Established in 1969 with strong support and by sheer force of will from the community, multiple generations of students from Scurry County and beyond have received a quality education. Students at Western Texas College enjoy a small-town, friendly atmosphere with a caring and approachable faculty and staff.Western Texas College is committed to excellence as it challenges students to reach their full potential. WTC's mission resonates through all departments and activities on the campus. Strong working relationships and a deeply committed faculty and staff provide key elements to student success at WTC.From its beginning, students have been the focus for the faculty and staff of WTC. The College concentrates on programs that reflect the needs of the youth and employers in the community and surrounding area. With over thirty majors and additional electives of study, students can earn an Associates of Arts, an Associate of Arts in Teaching, an Associates of Science, or an Associates of Applied Science degree. WTC also offers many certificate programs to quickly train students to enter the work world within one or two years.WTC boasts a soccer field, baseball and softball fields, and a 3890 seat Coliseum for basketball and other events. A beautiful 9-hole golf course sits on the north side of the campus, and the college maintains a farm close by for agricultural studies and rodeo practice. Next to the Soccer field sits Cavender Energy Lab, an outdoor laboratory for energy technology training, study, and experimentation. Unlike many community colleges in Texas, WTC has two dormitories for campus housing built within the last ten years. The Scurry County Museum also resides at the front of the campus.
