About This School

Jackson State Community College is a public institution located in Jackson, Tennessee with approximately 2,511 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,236 per year. Typical graduates earn $31,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Jackson State Community College is a public community college in Jackson, Tennessee. It is governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents and offers associate degrees in arts, science, and applied science programs.

At just $7,343 per year after aid, this is one of the more affordable paths to an associate degree in West Tennessee, making it a genuinely practical choice for students watching their budget. The concern worth noting is that median earnings of $31,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, so it's best suited for students using it as a transfer stepping stone to a four-year school rather than a terminal credential for career entry. Worth considering if cost is a priority and you have a clear plan for what comes next.
