Program Information

Applying to the Program

Applicants must complete a Coastal Bend College application and be accepted into the college before applying to the program.

Twenty-one students will be selected to begin the program each Fall. Student selection is based on a point scoring system. The program uses this Score Sheet to determine eligibility. If there is a tie, student academic history will be taken into consideration and a final decision will be made by program administration.

Applications will be reviewed early June; acceptance, denial, and alternate letters will be sent via email mid-June.

GPAs will be averaged for applicants with multiple transcripts when determining GPA points toward application.

Formal Student Complaint Process

Coastal Bend College encourages a formal complaint to be resolved in a respectful manner. Retaliation of any form for filing a formal complaint will not be tolerated. All students have the right to complete the formal complaint process, which should be followed in all situations where informal resolution is insufficient to address the issue(s).

An anonymous formal complaint is allowed, however, the College's ability to investigate and respond to a formal complaint can be hindered. Please complete the online formal complaint form entirely, providing as much detail as possible. All formal complaint submissions are confidential and shared only with those who need to know.

A formal complaint is a request for the resolution of a problem, conflict, concern, or issue that negatively impacts a student(s). A formal complaint must be filed using the CBC Formal Student Complaint Form.
