About This School

Hagerstown Community College (HCC) is a public community college in Hagerstown, Maryland. It was founded in 1946 as Maryland’s first community college. The campus encompassed eighteen buildings on 319 acres (129 ha). The college hosts a business incubator, outdoor gardens, and an amphitheater.
The numbers here tell a reasonably encouraging story — median debt at graduation is just $6,500, making this one of the more affordable paths through a two-year degree, especially at a net price of $7,672/year. Worth considering if you're looking to minimize financial risk while building credentials locally or transferring to a four-year school. The one honest caveat: median earnings of $37,000 a decade out suggest graduates aren't landing high-earning careers, so the value depends heavily on your next step after HCC.
