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.

  • If you think you can't do it, come over here to Weekend college, we'll turn that can't into can. Most definitely, I do recommend that this weekend program will be good for any future students. They're actually going to get their bills paid and still get school work done. It's a big change.

  • ACC has always been like a home to me. The staff is so helpful and friendly. The community connection is what brought me to make a final decision to attend ACC.

  • The Early college high school gives you an opportunity to get a high school diploma and two years worth of college here at Lee College. The most significant advantage I think is that it exposes you to so many classes that you wouldn't have at a high school. It exposes you to fields of study, majors that you wouldn't have at high school.

  • I noticed how wonderful my sister’s experience was at ACC and I became intrigued. She spoke of her professors and classmate as though they were family. In all aspects she knew she belonged and was supported. I too desired that feeling. I came to ACC with two degrees but I have never felt more connected or have taken as much ownership as I have now. I love ACC.
