Forney ISD Partnerships

In October of last year, the Forney ISD Board of Trustees approved a new partnership with Texas Tech University that provides an opportunity to bring a four-year institution to Forney and provide bachelor programs for not only our students but for the community of Forney in the future.

With the new partnership, Forney ISD students will have the opportunity to complete their core curriculum or associates degree through the Eastfield Campus of Dallas College, and then transfer to Texas Tech University to complete their bachelor’s degree without ever leaving Forney. 

Texas Tech University currently offers online courses that Forney residents can take advantage of to earn a Bachelor’s Degree online. Texas Tech University plans to offer face-to-face courses in Forney in the near future which will allow students to complete a comprehensive bachelor’s degree.

In addition, Texas Tech University offers online Masters and hybrid doctoral degrees for Forney residents interested in pursuing a graduate degree. Please visit www.forneyisd.net/texastech for more information.
