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.
