Evergreen Valley College (EVC) is a public community college in San Jose, California. Located in the Evergreen district of East San Jose, California, EVC was founded in 1975 and is part of the California Community College System.

Located in East San Jose, this community college offers an affordable path into higher education, with graduates carrying a relatively modest median debt of $13,219. The numbers tell a mixed story, though — median earnings of $44,100 a decade after enrollment suggest that many students end up in modest-paying careers, so it's worth being intentional about which program you pursue and whether it aligns with your income goals. Worth considering if you're looking to complete general education requirements, earn a certificate in a vocational field, or transfer to a four-year school while keeping costs low.
