Cedar Valley College is committed to providing students with the support and tools they need to ambitiously pursue and successfully realize their goals and dreams. 

Cedar Valley College is located in southern Dallas County, just south of I-20. It's 1 of Seven colleges in the Dallas County Community College District. More than Four-thousand students benefit from its comprehensive curriculum, which includes for credit academic transfer career programs and non-credit continuing education courses such as computer technology, real estate, foreign language and music.

The District was formed in May 1965; the same year El Centro College began operation in downtown Dallas. Eastfield College and Mountain View College enrolled their first students in 1970 and Richland College became the District's fourth college in 1972. Cedar Valley College and North Lake College opened in 1977. Brookhaven, the final college in the seven-college master plan, opened in 1978.

Cedar Valley's award winning architecture and careful attention to landscaping have given the college a well deserved reputation for being one of the most scenic business sites in the Dallas area. The campus plan takes advantage of the site's natural beauty, which includes a gazebo and a pedestrian walk along two sides of a 17-acre lake. Cedar Valley has a 350-seat performance hall, baseball field, gymnasium, and a surgery facility and barn for the Veterinary Technology program.
