Chesapeake College is a public community college with its main campus in Wye Mills, Maryland, and a satellite campus in Cambridge. It was the first regional community college in the state and serves the five Mid-Shore counties: Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's, and Talbot.

This is a strong option for Mid-Shore Maryland residents looking to minimize costs, with an average net price of just $4,178 per year — hard to beat anywhere in the state. As a regional community college serving five counties, it's well-positioned for students pursuing transferable credits or workforce training close to home. That said, median earnings of $31,200 ten years out suggest graduates often move into modest-paying fields, so if you have a specific career goal, confirm that Chesapeake's programs align with it before enrolling.
