About This School

Atlantic Cape Community College is a public institution located in Mays Landing, New Jersey with approximately 3,860 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,502 per year. Typical graduates earn $32,100 within 10 years of enrollment.

Atlantic Cape Community College is a public community college in Atlantic County and Cape May County in New Jersey. Atlantic Cape enrolls more than 6,000 students. Its main campuses are in the Mays Landing section of Hamilton Township in Atlantic County, Atlantic City, and Cape May Court House.

The numbers tell a reasonably encouraging story here: at just $8,502 per year after aid and a median debt of only $7,382 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths to a degree or transfer in New Jersey. Worth considering if your goal is to cut costs before transferring to a four-year school, since the low debt keeps your options open. The main concern is the post-graduation earning picture — a median of $32,100 ten years out suggests limited upward mobility for students who stop here, so treat it as a launching pad, not a final destination.
