About This School

Delaware County Community College (DCCC) is a public community college with campuses and facilities throughout Delaware and Chester Counties in Pennsylvania. DCCC was founded in 1967 and is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The college offers 53 associate degree programs and 43 certificate programs at nine different locations.
With nine campus locations across Delaware and Chester Counties and an average net price of just $7,395 per year, this is a strong option for students who want an affordable path to an associate degree or certificate without taking on significant debt — median graduation debt sits at a manageable $8,176. The trade-off is that median earnings 10 years out land at $42,000, which is modest, so students planning to transfer to a four-year school or enter a specific trade will get more out of this investment than those expecting the degree alone to open high-earning doors.
