About This School
Mid-Plains Community College is a public institution located in North Platte, Nebraska with approximately 923 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,602 per year. Typical graduates earn $35,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
Mid-Plains Community College (MPCC) is a public community college in southwest Nebraska with seven campuses: one in McCook, two in North Platte, and four community campuses in Broken Bow, Imperial, Ogallala and Valentine. The college was established by the Nebraska Legislature in 1973.
This is a strong option for students in rural Nebraska looking to keep costs low — with an average net price of just $6,602/year and median debt at graduation of only $6,291, it's one of the more affordable paths you'll find. The trade-off is that median earnings 10 years out sit at $35,200, which is modest, so this makes the most sense as a launchpad into a transfer program or a specific vocational career rather than a general degree for maximizing long-term income. If you're near one of its seven campuses across southwest Nebraska and want an affordable, low-debt start, it's worth a serious look.
