Photo In 1967 Galveston College opened its doors after widespread community support had formed the Galveston Community College District. For 40 years, Galveston College has been flourishing as a source of high-quality, low-cost instruction in college transfer, career education and adult/continuing education.

Galveston College’s Main Campus, located just six bocks from the Galveston Seawall at 4015 Avenue Q, is an exceptional environment for learning. Approximately 2,300 credit students enroll in each semester of fall, spring and summer. Nearly 5,000 people take non-credit leisure learning or special interest classes annually.

Galveston College has amenities such as a computer-based learning resource center, modern science labs, ceramics, art and music, microcomputer centers, fitness and gym facilities, and intramural/collegiate sports.

Galveston College has worked diligently to build strong partnerships with organizations and institutions in our community. The College has developed programs with the University of Texas Medical Branch and Texas A&M Galveston. Other partnerships help Galveston College to be a central educational link to the Galveston Independent School District, other local private schools, and the University of Houston-Clear Lake.

One of the most exciting programs at Galveston College was introduced through the Galveston College Foundation. Through the Universal Access program, Galveston College is rebuilding the Galveston community by investing in its most precious resource, its people. The Galveston College Foundation has raised an endowment of over $3 million that will help every graduate from a Galveston high school, GED program or home school to be guaranteed paid tuition and fees for two years of higher education and training.

Galveston College also awards over $100,000 in scholarships each year and allows Galveston senior citizens 65 years of age or older to take credit classes without paying tuition. For more information on Galveston College visit www.gc.edu.
