Del Mar College is a local community college designated for the entire Corpus Christi city limits.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/ED/htm/ED.130.htm |title=Texas Education Code Sec. 130.177.

The main campus began with the administration building, which was constructed after [[World War II]] on Del Mar. The college grew to encompass a good portion of a residential addition called Southmoreland built from the Bohemian farmlands in the late 1930s. Del Mar now includes a west campus located in the area of Corpus Christi that once was Cliff Maus Airport. Del Mar College is expanding their footprint with the unveiling of their new Southside Campus near Oso Creek. The new Southern branch campus will serve the recent growing Southside area.{{citation needed|date=April 2022}}
