Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $3,736 sticker price at Cuyahoga Community College. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $3,249 after aid, while those from households making $75,000-$110,000 face $9,249 annually. A typical two-year degree costs between $6,498 and $18,498 depending on family income. The district serves Cleveland's working-class communities with practical programs that lead directly to employment.

Graduates leave with just $8,150 in debt on average, translating to monthly payments of $86. That's manageable against median earnings of $35,654 ten years out. The 95% employment rate shows the district's focus on job-ready skills rather than four-year transfer preparation. Low-income students get the strongest value proposition here, paying roughly half what middle-class families face while accessing the same career-focused training that has made Tri-C a cornerstone of Cleveland's workforce development.
