About This School
Guam Community College is a public institution located in Mangilao, GU with approximately 1,139 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,106 per year. The graduation rate is 25%, and the typical graduate earns $26,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
Guam Community College (GCC) is a community college in Mangilao, Guam. It was officially created by Public Law 14–77 in 1977 under Maryly Van Leer Peck's leadership. This law created the college by consolidating several pre-existing programs from a variety of institutions, including the Adult Evening School of the Guam Department of Education, the Community Career College of the University of Guam, the Apprenticeship Training Program of the University of Guam, and other programs originally created by Guam's Department of Labor and the Guam Police Department.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $4,620/year after aid, the cost is genuinely hard to beat, making this a reasonable choice for students pursuing vocational, technical, or workforce training close to home in Guam. However, the 22% graduation rate is a real concern — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $26,500 a decade out suggest limited income growth for many graduates. Worth considering if you have a specific certificate or trade program in mind and a clear plan to stay enrolled, but it's not the right fit if you're undecided or hoping for strong long-term earning potential.
