This Missouri community college is a genuinely affordable option, with an average net price of just $7,734 per year and median graduation debt of only $6,000 — both well below national norms. The trade-off is post-graduation earnings: the median income sits at $34,700 a decade out, which is modest, though that figure partly reflects that many students transfer to four-year schools rather than enter the workforce directly from here. Worth considering if you're looking to minimize debt while completing general education requirements or an associate degree before moving on.
