About This School
Bishop State Community College is a public institution located in Mobile, Alabama with approximately 2,100 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,176 per year. Typical graduates earn $28,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
Bishop State Community College is a public, historically black community college with campuses and facilities throughout Mobile and Washington Counties in Alabama. The college was founded in Mobile, Alabama, in 1927, and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. It offers more than 50 associate degree and certificate programs.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $4,176/year after aid, this is one of the most affordable paths to an associate degree or certificate in the region, and its deep roots as an HBCU in Mobile since 1927 give it a strong sense of community and mission. However, median earnings of $28,300 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone — whether that's transferring to a four-year university or entering a specific trade or technical field — rather than an endpoint in itself.
