What Can Coastal Bend College Offer You?
Get real, hands-on experience
Research has shown that many students perform better and learn faster in smaller classrooms with applied training.
Affordable Education
One-third the cost of tuition at area universities – and several financial aid options are available.
More flexible classes than ever
Community colleges are working harder to make higher education within reach for all students – from evening and online courses to bus transportation – so you can find the schedule that works for you.
Boost your earning potential
Learning a new skill or getting a certification (some are attainable in just four weeks) can earn you 40 to 70 percent higher pay.
