Marshalltown Community College (MCC) is a public community college in Marshalltown, Iowa. It is part of the Iowa Valley Community College District. The campus is located just to the south of Marshalltown along Highway 30. A second campus, Iowa Valley Grinnell, is located in Grinnell. MCC offers 55 degree/diploma options, has a student-faculty ratio of 13:1, and has an annual enrollment at about 2,000 students.

With a net price of just $7,144 per year and median debt at graduation of only $5,500, this is one of the more financially sensible paths into higher education you'll find. Worth considering if you're looking to complete general education requirements affordably or pursue one of 55 degree and diploma options close to home in central Iowa. The one honest caveat: median earnings of $32,800 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether it connects to a clear career path in your area.
