Anoka-Ramsey Community College is a public community college in Cambridge and Coon Rapids, Minnesota. Founded in 1965, the college annually serves more than 12,500 students as they pursue associate degrees that transfer as the first two years of a bachelor's degree, as well as certificate programs. Anoka-Ramsey Community College is a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System. The college also focuses on providing professional development and continuing education programs for working adults. Over 5,570 registrants enroll in these courses each year.
Worth considering if you want an affordable start to a degree or career path — at just $8,750 in median debt at graduation, students here leave with far less financial baggage than at most four-year schools. The concern is that median earnings of $41,200 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about where you transfer or what program you pursue, since the college itself won't carry you to a high salary on its own.
