About This School

Nunez Community College is a public institution located in Chalmette, Louisiana with approximately 1,495 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,017 per year. Typical graduates earn $32,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Nunez Community College (NCC) is a public community college in Chalmette, Louisiana. Its full name is Elaine P. Nunez Community College; it was named for the deceased wife of former Louisiana State Senate President Samuel B. Nunez.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable local option to get started — at just $8,250 in median debt at graduation, students here finish with far less financial burden than at most schools. The concern is the post-graduation earning picture: median earnings of $32,500 after ten years are modest, so this works best as a stepping stone toward a four-year degree or a specific vocational credential rather than a terminal degree for high-income career goals.
