Cost Overview

Most families pay around $10,102 annually at this Atlanta community college, far below the $2,960 sticker price for in-state students. Net costs climb steadily by income level, from $8,987 for families earning under $30,000 to $15,247 for those making over $110,000. A typical two-year program runs about $20,200 total.

Students typically graduate with $20,903 in debt, translating to $222 monthly payments. That burden becomes manageable quickly since graduates earn $37,719 in their first year after college. Only 23% of students take federal loans, keeping debt loads relatively light. Just 11% receive institutional grants averaging $5,424, but 43% qualify for Pell Grants.

Low-income students get the strongest value proposition here. Families earning under $48,000 pay less than $9,500 annually, while the college serves as an affordable pathway to four-year universities or direct workforce entry in metro Atlanta's job market.
