About This School

American Samoa Community College is a public institution located in Pago Pago, AS with approximately 884 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,812 per year. The graduation rate is 48%, and the typical graduate earns $24,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

American Samoa Community College (ASCC) is a public land-grant community college in the village of Mapusaga, American Samoa. Only legal residents of American Samoa who have graduated from high school or obtained a General Equivalency Diploma are admitted to ASCC.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $4,812 per year after aid, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find, which matters greatly given that median earnings 10 years out sit at $24,500 — a modest return that reflects the local economy more than the degree itself. Worth considering if you're a legal resident of American Samoa looking to build credentials close to home without taking on debt, but the 48% graduation rate suggests many students don't finish, so go in with a clear plan and strong support system.
