About This School

Community College of Vermont is a public institution located in Montpelier, Vermont with approximately 2,841 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,696 per year. Typical graduates earn $31,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

The Community College of Vermont (CCV) is a public community college within the Vermont State Colleges System. It is the second-largest higher education institution in the state, enrolling approximately 7,000 students each semester. CCV operates 12 academic centers across Vermont and offers a wide range of online learning opportunities.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable way to start or complete a degree — at just $10,599/year average net price and a median debt of only $5,702 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, the numbers tell a mixed story: median earnings of $31,700 a decade after enrollment suggest many graduates aren't landing high-paying jobs, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year school or a career in a specific trade rather than a destination on its own.
