About This School

Dyersburg State Community College is a public institution located in Dyersburg, Tennessee with approximately 2,103 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,612 per year. Typical graduates earn $29,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Dyersburg State Community College is a public community college in Dyersburg, Tennessee. It was founded in 1969 and serves nine counties in West Tennessee: Crockett, Dyer, Haywood, Henry, Lake, Lauderdale, Obion, Tipton, and Weakley Counties. Dyersburg State is governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and stay close to home — at just $4,322/year after aid and a median debt of only $4,475 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths into higher education in West Tennessee. That said, the median earnings of $29,800 a decade after enrollment are modest, so be intentional about your program choice and transfer or career plan, since the degree alone won't guarantee a major income boost.
