Tuition & Fees.Coastal Bend College is one of the most affordable public institutions in Texas. The college makes a distinction between in-district students, (those residing within the Coastal Bend College District),

and out-of-district students, (those residing outside the college district). Out-of-State tuition is paid by non-Texas residents. Texas residents pay

approximately $1440 and out-of-state students pay approximately $2640 per academic year. CBC offers quality at a bargain. Tuition and fees are published annually in the college catalog and are also available via the college web site.

Academic ProgramsThe Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board designates the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science as collegiate degrees related to baccalaureate degrees in arts and science. At CBC, students may earn either of these associate degrees by completing planned curricula of freshman and sophomore academic courses. These are approved by the Coordinating Board and are transferable to senior colleges and universities in Texas. CBC maintains contact with these institutions to ensure that CBC academic courses are equivalent to those at four-year colleges.

Workforce Education ProgramsWorkforce Education refers to the college’s technical and vocational education programs. Workforce Education is any form of education, training or retraining which prepares persons to enter or continue employment in any recognized occupation. The primary responsibility for providing post-secondary Workforce Education in Texas has been given to community colleges. CBC accepts responsibilities for providing high quality Workforce programs tailored to meet the needs of people in its geographic area.

Workforce Education offerings at CBC include technical programs and others in the fields of business, industry, health and public services. To assure that these programs continue to provide relevant training, the college uses advisory committees. Each area of study has an advisory committee made up of professionals in the field who advise college officials in planning, conducting and evaluating programs.
