About the Texas Gulf Coast Community Colleges Consortium (TGCCCC)

The Texas Gulf Coast Community Colleges Consortium is a partnership of nine public community colleges along the Texas Gulf Coast collaborating to advance the mission of community college education, train the region’s workforce and enrich the student learning experience.

Together the nine public community colleges of the Gulf Coast Consortium enroll nearly 200,000 students in credit courses – almost one-fourth the total enrollment of all community college students in Texas – and another 60,000 students in non-credit Continuing Education and workforce courses.

These students can obtain 63%* of jobs requiring higher education, earning between $50,000* with an associate degree and $70,000* with a bachelor’s degree.

  • BC has helped me not only academically but also personally. Helping me grow from a very shy person to somebody who works in the writing center and helps everybody that they can.

  • I hope to use that degree in the field of process technology as a refinery or a chemical plant operator. Challenging leads to rewarding and there are great rewards to be made in this industry. I'm totally excited about my future. I'm sure there will be hurdles I'll have to clear but I think I can do it and with Exxon's help with the scholarship and that helps me greatly financially to afford to do it.

  • ACC has a really nice environment and a great healthcare program. I decided to transfer from another community college and never regretted my decision. ACC provides students with more care, more opportunities and a friendlier atmosphere to be successful.

  • It is a good transition between high school and college. ACC is affordable and close to home. While ACC was not my first choice I have come to realize the opportunities I will have by attending a college close to home and am excited to explore and take full advantage of all provided.

  • My internship through the Galveston College Welding Technology program was great. I experienced everything from the construction of stainless steel hand rails and stairwells to building the bases of Southwest Airlines' light posts and creating a bumper for a Galveston ferry boat. Best of all, I was offered a job on graduation from the program.

  • We have all had to make a lot of sacrifices for each other, but every minute of it has been worth it. I am so thankful to the high school and to WCJC for providing this program and for saving us time and money. I truly hope the school continues to offer ROAR and that many more students take advantage of it.
