Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) is a public community college in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. LCCC offers over 100 academic, technical, and career programs. The institution uses an open admissions policy for most programs, and has over 35,000 graduates.

Worth considering if you're looking to minimize debt while building toward a career — graduates leave with just $5,500 in median debt, which is impressively low. The tradeoff is that median earnings sit at $35,200 a decade out, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a targeted two-year program in a field with clear local hiring, rather than a path to high-wage work on its own. At roughly $10,228 per year after aid, the value is real, but go in with a specific plan.
