Hopkinsville Community College (HCC) is a public community college in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. It is one of 16 two-year, open-admissions colleges of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). Founded in 1965, HCC maintains a main campus in Hopkinsville and an off-site campus on the Fort Campbell Army base. HCC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). It offers Associate in Science and Associate in Applied Science degrees.

At just $3,939 per year after aid and a median debt of only $6,999 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable higher education options you'll find anywhere in Kentucky — making it a smart starting point for students focused on minimizing financial risk. The Fort Campbell campus also makes it a practical choice for military families in the area. That said, median earnings of $31,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, so students should think carefully about which program they pursue and whether it aligns with a clear career goal or a transfer plan to a four-year school.
