Whether you are beginning your college journey, returning to continue your goals, exploring a new career path, or building on skills you already have, we are glad you are here. You belong at TBCC, and our faculty and staff are committed to supporting you every step of the way.This year represents an exciting new chapter for our college and our community. With the opening of our new Administration and Health Sciences Building and Center for Industrial Technologies, TBCC is better positioned than ever to serve the educational and workforce needs of Tillamook County and the North Coast. These new spaces expand opportunities in nursing, allied health, industrial technology, welding, advanced manufacturing, and other hands-on programs that prepare students for meaningful careers and continued education.
These facilities are important, but they are only part of the story. What truly makes TBCC special is our people. Our faculty, staff, and community partners work hard every day to create a welcoming, supportive, and student-centered college. From caring instruction and personalized advising to tutoring, financial aid, career guidance, and the many behind-the-scenes efforts that help students succeed, TBCC is a place where people know your name and care about your future.
At TBCC, we believe education should be accessible, practical, inclusive, and deeply connected to the community we serve. We are committed to helping students build skills, confidence, and pathways toward living-wage careers, transfer opportunities, personal growth, and long-term success. We also remain committed to creating a college environment where every student and community member feels welcomed, respected, and valued, regardless of background, circumstance, status, or affiliation.
