About This School

Halifax Community College is a public institution located in Weldon, North Carolina with approximately 540 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,073 per year. Typical graduates earn $26,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Halifax Community College is a public community college in Weldon, a town in Halifax County in North Carolina. Established in 1967, the college is one of the oldest in the North Carolina Community College System. It offers associate degree programs and continuing education. The college serves Halifax County and part of Northampton County with a population of approximately 65,000 people.

The numbers tell a reasonable story for a low-cost start: at just $4,073/year net price and a median debt of only $5,670, this is one of the more affordable paths into higher education you'll find anywhere. Worth considering if you're looking to complete an associate degree close to home in Halifax or Northampton County without taking on serious financial risk. The honest concern is post-graduation earning potential — median earnings of $26,700 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about which program you pursue and whether you plan to transfer to a four-year school to increase your long-term options.
