CBC was not ranked in College Factual’s 2026 Best Overall Colleges report. This could be for a number of reasons, including lack of data.
The student to faculty ratio at CBC is an impressive 12 to 1. That’s quite good when you compare it to the national average of 15 to 1. This is a good sign that students at the school will have more opportunities for one-on-one interactions with their professors.
In addition to the student to faculty ratio, some people look at what percentage of faculty members are full-time as a sign of how much time professors will be able to spend with their students. This is because part-time teachers may not be on campus as much as their full-time counterparts.
The full-time faculty percentage at Coastal Bend College is 32%. This is lower than the national average of 47%.
The freshmen retention rate is a measure of what percentage of first-year, full-time students come back for their sophomore year. The 43% rate at Coastal Bend College is a good bit lower than the national rate of 68%. This could be for a number of reasons, such as students transferring after a year because they changed majors.
When we say that a student has graduated on time, we mean that they have finished their bachelor’s degree within four years. The on-time graduation rate at CBC is 11%. That’s lower than the national rate of 33.3%.
