About This School

Cecil College is a public institution located in North East, Maryland with approximately 1,363 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,658 per year. Typical graduates earn $36,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Cecil College is a public community college in North East, Maryland in Cecil County.

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.
