In addition, the college has learning centers in Holdrege, Kearney, and Lexington. The college's athletic nickname is the CCC Raiders. As of 2025, the college enrolls 3,200 students.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start — at just $6,781/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, the financial picture is genuinely low-risk. That said, the median earnings of $32,800 a decade out are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone toward a four-year degree or a specific trade credential rather than a terminal degree for high-earning careers.
