About This School
City Colleges of Chicago-Malcolm X College is a public institution located in Chicago, Illinois with approximately 5,847 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $3,729 per year. Typical graduates earn $29,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying in Chicago — at just $3,729 per year after aid and only $6,100 in median debt at graduation, the financial picture is genuinely manageable. That said, the median earnings of $29,700 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone — use the affordable credits to transfer to a four-year school or enter a specific trade or healthcare program with a clear path to higher wages.
