College of Marin is a public institution located in Kentfield, California with approximately 3,928 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $1,558 per year. Typical graduates earn $42,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
The College of Marin, is a public community college in Marin County, California, with two campuses, one in Kentfield, and the second in Novato. It is the only institution operated by the Marin Community College District.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable community college path — graduates carry a relatively modest median debt of just over $10,000, which is a manageable starting point. That said, the median earnings of $42,800 a decade after enrollment suggest limited long-term income lift, so this works best as a transfer stepping stone to a four-year school rather than a terminal degree. The small enrollment and Marin County setting offer a quieter, more personalized environment, but be intentional about your transfer plan from day one.
