Diversity and gender trends of community college students in Texas from the 2000 to 2011 academic years were explored. Archived data retrieved from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) were evaluated to determine the extent to which differences were present between ethnic groupings and/or gender across these academic years. The largest ethnic changes were present for Hispanic and White student groups. Hispanic enrollment increased by 13% whereas White matriculation decreased by 19%. In addition, gender differences remained static with more females than males attending community colleges. Policy implications for community college leaders are discussed.
