About This School

Chattahoochee Valley Community College is a public institution located in Phenix City, Alabama with approximately 1,044 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,814 per year. Typical graduates earn $31,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

Chattahoochee Valley Community College is a public community college in Phenix City, Alabama. It serves residents of Russell County and parts of Bullock, Lee, Macon, and Barbour Counties, as well as the Columbus, Georgia metropolitan area. Since 1975 it has shared its campus with Troy University's Phenix City Campus.

This is a strong option for students in the Phenix City and Columbus metro area who want an affordable path into the workforce — at just $5,814/year net price and a median graduation debt of only $5,900, you're taking on very little financial risk. That said, median earnings of $31,300 a decade out are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer program rather than a terminal degree if you have higher earning ambitions. The small campus (just over 1,000 students) and shared space with Troy University's Phenix City campus can actually work in your favor for a more personal experience.
