Cost Overview

Most families pay between $4,131 and $6,669 annually depending on income, making this one of North Carolina's most affordable college options. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $4,131 per year, while those from higher-income households still pay less than $7,000. A typical two-year program costs around $10,000 total.

The Warriors keep debt burdens manageable. Graduates leave with a median debt of $9,458, translating to roughly $100 monthly payments. With median earnings of $34,936 ten years after graduation, loan payments represent just 3.4% of income. The 91.5% employment rate shows strong job market outcomes. Only 28% of students receive Pell Grants, suggesting many families can afford the low tuition without significant aid.

Students from low-income families get the best deal here, paying roughly half what middle-class families pay while accessing the same career training programs that lead to solid employment prospects.
