Galveston College is a comprehensive community college serving the higher education needs of Galveston Island in Texas. Founded in 1967, it provides accessible and affordable education through credit programs and continuing education, educating about 2,300 students each semester in credit courses and nearly 5,000 people annually in non-credit offerings. The college operates within the Texas higher education system, supporting workforce preparation and lifelong learning in the regional community. Located on Galveston Island, about 50 miles south of Houston, the college is a mid-sized institution expanding educational opportunities for local residents. In November 2025 it launched a shipfitting program, and in 2026 the board appointed Tracee Watts, Ed.D., as president to guide ongoing leadership. Additional collaborations, such as a partnership with Dickinson Independent School District to broaden dual enrollment, connect high school students with college programs.
