The city of Corpus Christi is a home to prestigious institutions of higher learning. If you are planning to move to this city, here are the schools to be considered:

The first option is the Texas A and M University–Corpus Christi, a state university initially founded as a Baptist university in 1947. It is first named as the University of Corpus Christi until the Baptist General Convention of Texas turned it over to the state in 1973 and became a component of the Texas A&M University system, one of the largest school system of higher education in the United States. This university offers more that 50 degrees ranging from undergraduate, masteral and doctoral programs in its five colleges, namely liberal arts, business, education, science and technology, and nursing and health sciences. It has an enlistment of 8,000 students and 550 faculty members.

Another option is the Del Mar College, an open community college established in 1935. The college is divided into three divisions, namely the Division of Arts and Sciences, the Division of Business, Professional and Technology Education, and the Division of Workforce, Economic and Community Development. Del Mar offers a variety of Associate degrees in the Arts, Sciences, and Applied Sciences, as well as numerous specialized programs and online courses. Today it has an enrollment of more than 11,000 full time students, one of the biggest colleges in Texas.

For students who want to enroll in a private university, there is the Our Lady of Corpus Christi college, a Roman Catholic school founded in the 1970s offering Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts diploma and other undeclared majors.
