About This School

Clatsop Community College is a public institution located in Astoria, Oregon with approximately 506 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,433 per year. Typical graduates earn $31,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Clatsop Community College (CCC) is a public community college with facilities in Astoria and Seaside, Oregon. The college's service area includes Clatsop County, portions of Columbia and Tillamook counties and Pacific and Wahkiakum counties in Washington state.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable entry point into higher education — with a median debt of just $9,500 at graduation, it's one of the lower-debt options you'll find. That said, median earnings of $31,800 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer program rather than a terminal credential. The small enrollment (506 students) means a more personal experience, but also a limited range of programs compared to larger community colleges.
