Coastal Bend College (CBC), formerly Bee County College, is a public community college that has its main campus in Beeville, Texas, and branch campuses in Alice, Kingsville, and Pleasanton, Texas.
This is a strong option for cost-conscious students in South Texas — at just $3,886/year after aid and median debt of only $7,445 at graduation, the financial picture is genuinely manageable for a community college education. The concern worth noting is that median earnings sit at $33,400 a decade after enrollment, which is modest, so students should think carefully about which program they pursue and whether it aligns with local job demand or a transfer pathway to a four-year school.
