Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and stay flexible — at just $8,271/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,250 at graduation, the financial risk here is about as low as it gets for a college education. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $35,300 a decade out, which is modest, so this makes the most sense as a launching pad — an affordable associate degree or transfer pathway — rather than a final destination if you have higher earning ambitions.
