About This School

Cayuga County Community College is a public institution located in Auburn, New York with approximately 1,146 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,278 per year. Typical graduates earn $34,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Cayuga Community College, formerly Cayuga County Community College, is a public community college in Cayuga County, New York, United States. It is part of the SUNY system and began in 1953 as Auburn Community College. Its main campus is in Auburn, New York. The college also serves Oswego County with its branch campus in Fulton.

This SUNY community college is a genuinely affordable option — at just $7,278/year net price and a median debt of only $6,462, you can earn a degree without the financial hole that haunts many graduates. The concern worth noting is that median earnings sit at $34,600 ten years out, which is modest, so this makes the most sense as a transfer springboard to a four-year school rather than a final credential for high-earning career goals. If you're looking to complete general education requirements cheaply before transferring, or need a local, low-cost start, this delivers real value.
