Central Oregon Community College is a public community college in Bend, Oregon. It primarily serves residents of Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook Counties. Its service district also includes portions of Klamath, Lake, and Wasco counties.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable community college experience — at just $8,000 in median debt at graduation, students here leave with far less financial burden than at most four-year schools. That said, the median earnings of $36,900 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this path makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a targeted vocational credential rather than a final destination degree.
