About This School

Huntington Junior College is a private nonprofit institution located in Huntington, West Virginia with approximately 209 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,729 per year. Typical graduates earn $20,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

Huntington Junior College (HJC) is a private junior college in Huntington, West Virginia. It was founded in 1936 and its campus is currently located in the former Cabell County Public Library building. The college offers six associate degree programs as well as stackable certificates and micro-credentials. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $20,300 ten years out, which barely covers living expenses in most parts of the country and falls short of what you'd hope to see after taking on $17,321 in debt. The small enrollment of 209 students may appeal to those who want a close-knit environment, and the $10,729 average net price is relatively manageable — but before enrolling, it's worth asking hard questions about job placement rates and whether specific programs lead to better-paying outcomes than the median suggests.
