Coastal Bend College (CBC) is an Achieving the Dream community college with a main campus located in Beeville, TX, along with sites serving the Alice, Kingsville, and Pleasanton, Texas communities. All CBC locations offer academic courses that transfer to a university, as well as workforce programs such as oil & gas, allied health (nursing, radiology, and dental hygiene), and business technology related industries, to name a few. In addition to educating students at our four main locations, we also have dual enrollment programs at over 24 local high schools, which means that CBC helps high school students get an affordable jump start on their collegiate careers.

Annually, CBC awards over 800 certificates and degrees to both dual enrollment and college students. CBC proudly educates about 3600 students each year and is also home to six National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) athletics teams. You can learn more about CBC at www.coastalbend.edu.
