Black Hawk College is a public community college in Illinois with campuses in Moline and Galva.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and avoid debt — with an average net price of just $6,718 per year and median debt at graduation of only $5,302, this is one of the more affordable paths to a degree or transfer. The trade-off is earning potential: graduates report median earnings of $32,800 ten years out, which is modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year school or a targeted career-focused program rather than a final destination for those chasing higher salaries.
