About This School

Bay de Noc Community College is a public institution located in Escanaba, Michigan with approximately 1,100 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,766 per year. Typical graduates earn $33,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

Bay de Noc Community College is a public community college in Escanaba, Michigan. Founded in 1962, the college has a main campus in Escanaba and another 25-acre (0.10 km2) campus, Bay College West, in Iron Mountain, Michigan, serving Dickinson County.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into the workforce — at just $9,766/year average net cost and only $8,000 in median debt at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $33,400 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense if you're pursuing a specific local career, a two-year credential, or planning to transfer to a four-year institution rather than expecting a big earnings bump from the degree alone.
