About This School
Collin County Community College District is a public institution located in McKinney, Texas with approximately 26,449 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,969 per year. The graduation rate is 20%, and the typical graduate earns $41,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
Collin College is a public community college district in Texas. Established in 1985, the district has grown as the county has grown from around 5,000 students in 1986 to more than 60,000 credit and noncredit students.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $8,986/year net price and a median debt of only $4,500 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a credential or transfer in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. However, the 22% graduation rate is a real concern — it suggests many students start but don't finish, so you'll want to go in with a clear plan, advisor support, and a timeline. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious, planning to transfer to a four-year school, or pursuing a specific workforce program — just don't assume the low price alone will carry you through.
