College of the Sequoias (COS) is a public two-year community college in Visalia, California. The college is named for the Giant Sequoia trees native to the nearby Sierra Nevada mountain range.
This is a strong option for cost-conscious students — at just $29/year average net price and only $4,500 in median debt at graduation, it's one of the most affordable paths to a degree or transfer. The tradeoff is that median earnings sit at $33,100 a decade out, which is modest, so it's best suited for students planning to transfer to a four-year school rather than those entering the workforce directly with an associate's degree.
