About This School

Northeast Community College is a public institution located in Norfolk, Nebraska with approximately 2,464 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,812 per year. Typical graduates earn $38,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

Northeast Community College is a public community college system in northeast Nebraska with four campuses: Norfolk, O'Neill, South Sioux City, and West Point. The college was established by the Nebraska State Legislature in 1973. It was created by a merger of Northeastern Nebraska College and Northeast Nebraska Technical College.

This is a strong option for students in northeast Nebraska looking to keep costs low — at just $8,812/year average net price and a median graduation debt of only $7,244, you're unlikely to dig yourself into a financial hole here. That said, median earnings of $38,400 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this college makes the most sense as a launching pad for an affordable associate degree or a transfer pathway rather than a direct route to a high-earning career.
