About This School

Brazosport College is a public institution located in Lake Jackson, Texas with approximately 2,827 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $3,022 per year. The graduation rate is 39%, and the typical graduate earns $43,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Brazosport College (BC) is a public community college in Lake Jackson, Texas. The college opened in 1968 and offers primarily associate degrees and some bachelor's degrees. The campus features The Clarion, a regional musical performance venue, in addition to the Brazosport Center for the Arts and Sciences which houses the Brazosport Museum of Natural Science, the Brazosport Planetarium and other institutions.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,022/year after aid and a remarkably low median debt of $4,250 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere. That 39% graduation rate is worth a honest conversation, though — it suggests many students don't finish, whether due to life circumstances, transfer plans, or academic challenges. Worth considering if you're looking for low-cost career training or an affordable path toward transfer, and you have a clear plan to stay on track.
