About This School

Frederick Community College is a public institution located in Frederick, Maryland with approximately 4,116 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $2,801 per year. Typical graduates earn $42,100 within 10 years of enrollment.

Frederick Community College (FCC) is a public community college in Frederick, Maryland.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while getting started — at just $2,801/year net price and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths you'll find. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $42,100 ten years out, which is modest and likely reflects the transfer-focused nature of the school, meaning your long-term outcome depends heavily on where you go next. If your plan is to complete general education credits cheaply before transferring to a four-year school, this makes real financial sense — just go in with a clear transfer target in mind.
