About This School

City Colleges of Chicago-Kennedy-King College is a public institution located in Chicago, Illinois with approximately 1,564 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,902 per year. Typical graduates earn $29,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs extremely low — at just $4,902/year after aid and a median debt of under $5,000, this is one of the most affordable paths into higher education in Chicago. That said, the numbers tell a mixed story: median earnings of $29,700 a decade after enrollment suggest graduates often land in entry-level or lower-wage work, so think carefully about how your specific program connects to a clear next step, whether that's transferring to a four-year school or a defined career pathway.
