North Hennepin Community College (NHCC) is a public community college in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. It was founded in 1966 and is a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs manageable — at $9,804/year after aid and a median debt of just $9,000 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths to a two-year degree in the Twin Cities area. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $43,300 a decade out, which is modest, so this works best as a launchpad to a four-year transfer or a specific vocational credential rather than a standalone career move.
