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 website.

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 inany 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.

Coastal Bend College offers the Associate in Arts degree; the Associate in Science

degree; the Associate in Applied Science degree; and Certificates of Achievement in specialized workforce education

(technical/vocational) fields. . The Associate in Arts degree is designed for students planning to transfer to

senior colleges and universities or for those seeking general education offered by the first two years of college. The

curriculum provides the foundation of a liberal arts education drawn from the

humanities, fine arts, and sciences. The Associate in Science degree is also

designed for transfer students, but the curriculum permits more specialization

than that of the Associate in Arts degree. . Students enrolled

in workforce education programs must have declared

program majors toward Associate in Applied Science

degrees or Certificates of Achievement. The Associate in Applied Science degree is awarded

for successful completion of a two-year prescribed workforce education curriculum. The

Certificate of Achievement is awarded for successful completion of a specialized curriculum in

any of a number of technical or vocational fields. It is possible to earn an Associate in Applied

Science degree and a Certificate of Achievement. Whatever your dreams and goals might be,

Coastal Bend College can help you achieve them.
