Dallas College — Richland Campus

Richland occupies a green campus in north Dallas, east of US 75 and near I-635. The site combines classrooms and labs with athletic areas, an arts gallery and outdoor gathering spaces. Its campus map identifies parking, student services and major buildings; DART Routes 17 and 200 connect Richland with rail stations and nearby transit centers. The college recommends checking its map and the DART planner for the day and time of travel, since the best route depends on the class schedule and starting point.

Richland’s strongest academic themes are advanced manufacturing, pre-medical and pre-dental sciences, accounting and finance, electronics engineering and applied software development. Students can work with robotics and manufacturing systems, contemporary science labs and a Bloomberg Finance & Investment Lab. Dallas College describes the Bachelor of Applied Technology in Software Development as a program covering software design, programming, data structures, machine-learning technologies and data analytics. Degree maps and transfer plans specify the required credits and which courses must be completed in sequence.

The campus highlights four honors programs and societies, 17 student clubs, a STEM Center and student support. Its athletics have won national NJCAA championships, and the college’s calendar includes exhibitions and student events at the gallery. The offerings make Richland a plausible choice for a learner weighing a science transfer pathway against a technology credential, but the two routes have different labs and prerequisites. Talk with an adviser and confirm whether a course is at Richland or another Dallas College site before registration.

Richland opened in 1972 and became part of the unified Dallas College in 2020. It is located at 12800 Abrams Road, Dallas; the campus phone is 972-238-6100. The site serves as a major north Dallas academic base, while the college’s directory lists additional centers for particular training and community services.
