About This School

Chandler-Gilbert Community College is a public institution located in Chandler, Arizona with approximately 7,626 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $12,653 per year. Typical graduates earn $45,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Chandler–Gilbert Community College (CGCC) is a public community college with multiple locations in Maricopa County, Arizona. It is part of the Maricopa County Community College District. In fall 2018, 14,728 students were enrolled at the college.

This is a strong option for Arizona students looking to keep costs low — graduates leave with just $4,500 in median debt, which is remarkably manageable compared to most colleges. The median earnings of $45,800 a decade after enrollment are decent but not exceptional, so it's best suited for students using CGCC as an affordable stepping stone toward a four-year degree or a specific trade rather than expecting a big salary bump from the credential alone. At roughly $12,653/year net price, it's a financially sensible choice, especially for students who plan to transfer.
