Major Universities:
* Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi: This is the most prominent university directly *on* the coast.
* University of Houston: While Houston itself is on the edge of the Coastal Plain, a significant portion of the university's campus lies within it.
* Rice University (Houston): Similar to UH, a portion lies within the Coastal Plain.
* Texas State University (San Marcos): San Marcos is within the Coastal Plain.
* University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (multiple campuses): Several campuses of UTRGV are in the Coastal Plain region.
Smaller Universities and Colleges:
Many smaller public and private universities and colleges are scattered across the Coastal Plain. To name them all would be impractical. They are often located in cities such as:
* Victoria
* Beaumont
* Galveston
* Brownsville
* Laredo (partially)
* College Station (partially, as Texas A&M's main campus is at the edge)
To find a more comprehensive list, you'd need to specify a more limited area within the Texas Coastal Plain and then search for colleges and universities in that specific county or city. Using online search engines with specific location parameters will be most effective.
