Cost Overview

Most families at North Central Michigan College pay far less than the $5,267 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $4,600 net per year, while those from middle-income families ($30-48K) get the best deal at $3,965 annually. The college serves working-class Michigan families, with 100% of students coming from in-state. Over four years, total costs range from $15,860 to $47,912 depending on family income. Higher earners pay closer to full price, with families making over $110K paying nearly $12,000 per year.

Most graduates leave with manageable debt loads. The median debt of $14,000 translates to monthly payments of $148, which represents less than 5% of typical graduate earnings of $33,575 in the first year after graduation. Students from the lowest-income families get the strongest return on investment, paying minimal net costs while accessing the same career training programs that lead to northern Michigan's tourism and healthcare jobs.
