College of the Mainland (COM)

5601 19th Street, Lubbock, TX

College of the Mainland, located in Texas City, Texas, is a public two year institution founded in 1966. The school's formation had been planned since 1935, and was finally realized when the cities in its service area of northern Galveston County approved the building bond necessary to establish the school. Since then the school has expanded, with additional facilities having been constructed to add additional room for newer programs and student services. In 2004 the school became one of three in Texas to allow high school students to complete the last two years of their high school education while earning an associate degree.

Academics

College of the Mainland offers nearly 70 programs of study that result in either an associate degree or certificate. These programs provide students with either the first two years of a four year education and allow for transfer to a four year school upon graduation, or prepare students for entry into the workforce through the development of skills and the imparting of knowledge necessary in a given field. Certificate programs generally take less time than degree programs, usually offering career educations as well, and lacking the general education courses that fill out an associate degree curriculum.

Programs offered include:
