Cost Overview

Families typically pay $7,492 annually after financial aid, though costs vary dramatically by income. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $6,481, while those from households making over $110,000 pay $9,364. Over two years, total costs range from roughly $13,000 to $19,000 depending on family income.

Most graduates leave with manageable debt loads. The median debt of $10,500 translates to monthly payments around $111, which represents less than 4% of typical graduate earnings of $40,507. The college keeps borrowing low, with only 18.54% of students taking federal loans. This community college model works well for career-focused programs that lead directly to employment.

Students from lower-income families get the best financial deal here. The small gap between net prices across income levels means even middle-class families avoid the heavy borrowing common at four-year institutions.
