About This School

Dawson Community College is a public institution located in Glendive, Montana with approximately 226 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,094 per year. Typical graduates earn $36,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Dawson Community College (DCC) is a public community college in Glendive, Montana. The college enrolls approximately 400 students and offers associate degree programs and certificate programs. It is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities and is part of the Montana University System.

Worth considering if you want an affordable, low-debt start to your education — graduates leave with just $5,500 in median debt, which is genuinely low compared to most colleges. However, the small enrollment of 226 students means limited program options and campus life, and median earnings of $36,800 a decade out suggest this path works best as a stepping stone to a four-year school rather than a career launchpad on its own.
