Dallas College — Eastfield Campus

Eastfield sits near the meeting of I-30 and I-635 in Mesquite, making it a natural option for students on the east side of Dallas County. The campus page highlights the Hive, Gallery 219 and the Automotive Technology lab; its printable map identifies parking, student services, classrooms and accessible entrances. Dallas College lists DART Route 18 for the campus, with service connections through South Garland Transit Center. Check the live route and class building before travelling, especially when your program includes lab sessions.

Eastfield’s signature areas combine skilled trades and creative work: automotive and auto-body technology, digital media, advanced manufacturing and mechatronics, plus social work and substance-abuse counseling. The automotive lab trains students with current equipment, while digital-media courses include design and photography/video. Dallas College reports that about 70 percent of courses are available in eight-week terms, a format that can help students focus on fewer subjects at a time; availability depends on the course and term.

The campus also has a natatorium developed with the City of Mesquite and Mesquite ISD, TRIO programs for eligible students, and an Early Head Start/Head Start center for families who meet federal guidelines. Advising, tutoring, a food pantry and other collegewide resources are listed on the campus map. Eastfield athletics include basketball, baseball, soccer and volleyball, with a record of national championships noted by the institution. Review the service page for eligibility and hours rather than assuming a campus facility is open to every visitor.

Eastfield began enrolling students in 1970 and remains one of Dallas College’s seven principal campuses. The address is 3737 Motley Drive, Mesquite, and the campus phone is 972-860-7100. Use the college catalog to compare certificates, associate degrees and transfer plans, then ask whether the classes meet at Eastfield or another campus. Programs in manufacturing, automotive work and digital media depend on specialized spaces, so a location-specific schedule is part of planning the degree, not a minor travel detail.
