Cost Overview
Despite being labeled a "community college," Washington State offers bachelor's degrees and charges accordingly. Families earning under $30,000 pay $7,591 annually after aid, while those making over $110,000 face $13,456 per year. A four-year degree costs between $30,364 and $53,824 depending on family income. The $4,152 out-of-state tuition barely exceeds in-state rates, making this one of the most affordable options for non-residents.
Graduates carry a manageable $11,000 in median debt with monthly payments of just $117. That debt load stays reasonable against the $37,988 median earnings ten years out. However, the 32% graduation rate suggests many students struggle to finish. Only 27% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating fewer low-income families than typical community colleges serve. Ohio residents from middle-class families get the best value here, paying roughly half what higher earners face while accessing the same career-focused programs.
