About This School

Central Coast College is a private for-profit institution located in Salinas, California with approximately 490 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $26,640 per year. Typical graduates earn $30,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $30,300 ten years out, which is modest given the $26,640 annual net price — meaning you could spend more on this degree than it returns for years. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $5,503, suggesting students aren't leaving buried in loans. Worth considering only if the specific vocational program you're targeting has clear local job demand in the Salinas area, but run the math carefully before committing.
