Harcum College is a private associate degree-granting college in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1915 and was the first two-year college in Pennsylvania authorized to grant associate degrees.

Worth considering if you're pursuing an associate degree in a health or career-focused field — the median debt at graduation is a notably low $12,000, which is a real advantage for a two-year program. However, median earnings of $47,700 a decade out suggest modest long-term income potential, so think carefully about whether your specific program leads to a clear career path with room to grow.
