About This School

Linn-Benton Community College is a public institution located in Albany, Oregon with approximately 4,807 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,070 per year. Typical graduates earn $37,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Linn–Benton Community College (LBCC) is a public community college with five locations in Linn and Benton County, Oregon. LBCC is the sixth largest of Oregon's seventeen community colleges, educating more than 12,000 students per year. The college offers more than 80 degree programs and certificates.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start — with an average net price of just $11,070/year and median debt at graduation of only $6,500, the financial risk is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $37,200 a decade after enrollment suggest this path works best as a stepping stone to a four-year degree or a targeted trade, not a final destination for high earning potential. If you're cost-conscious and have a clear transfer or career goal in mind, the math here is hard to argue with.
