JCC also has extension centers in Dunkirk, New York and Warren, Pennsylvania. The college offers more than 60 degree and certificate programs.

This is a strong option for Western New York students looking to keep costs low — at just $9,507/year average net price and a median graduation debt of only $6,037, it's one of the more affordable paths through higher education.

That said, median earnings of $35,200 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about which program you're entering and whether it leads to a credential with clear local job demand.
