Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC) is a public community college with its main campus in Perkinston, Mississippi. It was founded as Harrison County Agricultural High School in 1912.
This is a strong option for students seeking an affordable path into the workforce — at just $7,372/year average net cost and a median graduation debt of only $6,625, the financial risk is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $32,400 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer program or a targeted career in healthcare, trades, or technical fields rather than a destination in itself.
