Palau Community College is a public community college in the Republic of Palau. It is the only higher education institution in the nation. It is an independent institution accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and offers associate degrees and certificates.

This is a strong option for students rooted in Palau who want an affordable path to higher education — at just $2,810 per year after aid, the cost is genuinely low and hard to beat. The small enrollment of 386 undergraduates means a tight-knit campus experience, though the limited size also means fewer programs, extracurriculars, and transfer pathways than you'd find at a larger institution. Worth considering if you plan to stay and work in the region, but students with ambitions beyond Micronesia should think carefully about how credits and credentials will transfer.
