About This School

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable starting point — the average net price of just over $10,000 a year and a median debt of $8,250 at graduation are genuinely low, making it a financially sensible choice for local students. That said, median earnings of $36,700 a decade out are modest, so this works best as a stepping stone toward a four-year transfer rather than a terminal degree if you're aiming for higher earning potential.
