About This School

Independence Community College is a public institution located in Independence, Kansas with approximately 518 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,262 per year. Typical graduates earn $31,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

Independence Community College is a public community college in Independence, Kansas. It was formerly Independence Community Junior College.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable starting point — at just $6,262/year net price and a median debt of only $4,750 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, the small enrollment of 518 students signals limited program variety, and median earnings of $31,300 a decade out suggest this works best as a transfer stepping stone rather than a final destination for career preparation.
