Holmes Community College is a public institution located in Goodman, Mississippi with approximately 3,958 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,643 per year. The graduation rate is 42%, and the typical graduate earns $32,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
Holmes Community College is a public community college with its main campus in Goodman, Mississippi. It also has campuses in Grenada and Ridgeland, and satellite campuses in Attala, Webster, and Yazoo counties.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable two-year starting point — at just $5,980/year average net price and a median graduation debt of only $5,500, the financial risk is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $32,200 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a transfer pathway to a four-year degree rather than a final destination if you're aiming for higher earning potential.
