About This School

Luna Community College is a public institution located in Las Vegas, New Mexico with approximately 423 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,595 per year. Typical graduates earn $33,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

Luna Community College is a public community college in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The college also has campuses in Mora, Springer and Santa Rosa.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable, low-risk way to start your college journey — with an average net price of just $7,039/year and median debt at graduation of only $3,855, you won't be taking on much financial risk. That said, median earnings of $33,000 a decade after enrollment suggest graduates aren't landing high-paying careers, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year school or a specific local trade rather than a standalone path to financial mobility.
