About This School

Copiah–Lincoln Community College (Co–Lin) is a public community college with its main campus in Wesson, Mississippi. The Co–Lin District serves a seven-county area including Adams, Copiah, Franklin, Jefferson, Lawrence, Lincoln and Simpson counties. The college provides academic college-level courses for the first two years of four-year degree programs as well as career and technical programs.

At just $3,472 per year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, Co-Lin is one of the most affordable ways to complete your first two years before transferring to a four-year university. It's a strong option for students in its seven-county Mississippi service area who want to keep costs low while staying close to home. The one honest caveat: median earnings of $33,300 a decade out are modest, so if you're pursuing a career-focused program here, research how specific credentials translate to local job markets before committing.
