School Notes
Galveston College has proven to be a progressive, dynamic
institution of higher education known for its partnerships with
businesses and organizations and its commitment to provide a
quality learning environment that is student-focused. Its programs
have consistently gained local, state, and national acclaim in
areas that include health occupations programs, workforce
development initiatives, NJCAA athletics, innovative fundraising, a
hospitality institute and culinary arts, and special student
services. For the opening of the College in September 1967, through
the spring of 1970, the College occupied Moody Hall, a refurbished
orphanage, as its only campus facility. The initial academic
offerings were fairly broad in scope, while the occupational
program was minimal but with strong offerings in vocational
nursing, office occupations, engineering/drafting and law
enforcement. During the period 1972-76, many new occupational
programs were added, including offset printing, industrial engine
mechanics, refrigeration mechanics, banking, fashion merchandising,
office simulation, and a certificate program in hospital unit clerk
training. Added to these was an academic program in cooperative
education. In May 1977, the College opened its Fort Crockett campus
at which some 600 students received course work in health care
programs, fine arts, physical education and various other credit
and adult educational offerings. Since 1977, the College has added
courses in computer science, child development, human development,
television and surgical technology. Also, a grant from the National
Science Foundation has enabled mathematics and science instructors
to employ the computer as an instructional tool.
