About This School

Clinton Community College is a public institution located in Plattsburgh, New York with approximately 400 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,112 per year. Typical graduates earn $35,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Clinton Community College may refer to two institutions in the United States:Clinton Community College (Iowa) Clinton Community College

The numbers tell a mixed story here: with an average net price of just $9,385/year and median debt at graduation of only $8,125, this is one of the more affordable community college options you'll find. However, the median earnings of $35,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this makes the most sense as a launching pad — a place to complete lower-cost credits before transferring to a four-year school — rather than a terminal degree destination. Worth considering if you're budget-conscious and have a clear transfer plan, but go in with eyes open about the long-term earning outlook.
