Coastal Alabama Community College was established in 2017 as a result of the consolidation of Alabama Southern Community College, Faulkner State Community College and Jefferson Davis Community College. Building on the more than 50 years of rich history each of the previous colleges had, Coastal Alabama continues to provide accessible, affordable and quality higher education with Alabama's lowest tuition along the Coastal Plains and the Alabama Gulf Coast. A member of the Alabama Community College System, Coastal Alabama has 15 campuses and instructional sites and serves more than 10,000 students each year.
