Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $5,130 sticker price at this northern Michigan community college. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $1,336 annually after aid. Even middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay only $5,127 per year. The school keeps costs manageable for local families who make up 98.5% of enrollment. A four-year degree costs between $5,344 and $40,452 depending on family income.

Graduates leave with minimal debt burden compared to most colleges. The median debt of $9,024 translates to monthly payments of just $96. That's easily manageable given the 93.8% employment rate and median earnings of $33,191 within a year of graduation. Only 9.83% of students even need federal loans. The best deal goes to low-income students who attend for free, paying just over $1,300 annually for a degree that leads to steady employment in rural Michigan.
