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.
