About This School

Mohawk Valley Community College is a public institution located in Utica, New York with approximately 2,994 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,404 per year. Typical graduates earn $34,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) is a public community college in Oneida County, New York. It is part of the State University of New York system. MVCC was founded in 1946 as the first community college established in New York State and currently consists of the main campus in Utica and a branch campus in Rome.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and get started without piling up debt — at just $7,467 in median student debt at graduation, this school is one of the more financially responsible paths to a credential. The $8,404 average net price is genuinely affordable for a two-year college. The honest caveat: median earnings of $34,600 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether it connects to a clear career path or transfer goal.
