Cost Overview

Families at Cecil College pay between $6,666 and $11,172 annually depending on income, well below the $5,370 sticker price for most students. Lower-income families actually get the best deal at $8,923 per year. A typical two-year program costs around $20,000 total. The 12:1 student-faculty ratio means personal attention without premium pricing.

Graduates carry a median debt of just $9,536, translating to $101 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $43,952 within ten years, loan payments represent only 2.8% of monthly income. The 42% loan repayment rate reflects the reality that many community college students juggle work and family obligations. Only 26% of students receive Pell Grants, suggesting Cecil serves a mix of working-class families rather than the poorest students. In-state residents from Cecil County get the strongest value proposition at this rural Maryland community college.
