This is a strong option for cost-conscious students, with an average net price of just $3,694 per year and a median debt at graduation of only $5,187 — both impressively low. The concern is the earning potential on the other end: median earnings of $39,200 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this path makes the most financial sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer program rather than a terminal credential. If you're looking to complete general education requirements affordably before transferring, this school is hard to beat on value.
