Lee College is a public two-year institution located in Baytown, Texas, serving the greater Houston region. The college focuses on liberal arts and sciences with a general studies curriculum designed to support both transfer-bound students and those pursuing career credentials. As a city-based community college, Lee enrolls a largely working and place-bound population seeking flexible, affordable pathways to economic opportunity.
The college charges $1,770 annually for in-state tuition and $4,295 for out-of-state students, with no additional room and board charges as most students commute. Total enrollment stands at 8,143 students. The low tuition structure reflects Lee's mission as an access point for students from surrounding communities who may not have resources for residential four-year institutions.
Lee College functions as both a credential provider and a transfer gateway to four-year universities. The college works best for students seeking an affordable start on a bachelor's degree, those training for specific workforce skills, or working adults balancing education with employment and family obligations.
