Northern Maine Community College is a public community college in Presque Isle, Maine. It is part of the Maine Community College System. The 87-acre (350,000 m2) campus was founded in 1961 on the grounds of the former Presque Isle Air Force Base.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable way to start a career or transfer to a four-year school — at just $8,416/year average net price and a median debt of only $8,225 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $33,600 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this makes the most sense if you have a clear program goal tied to local industries or a transfer plan rather than expecting a big salary bump straight from this degree.
