Peninsula College is a public community college in Port Angeles, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. It is part of the Washington Community and Technical Colleges system and offers Bachelor of Applied Science in Management and Behavioral Healthcare degrees, transfer Associate degree programs, professional-technical degrees and certificates, community education courses, and pre-college courses. It also has distance education and online learning options.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $4,529/year net price and $9,000 median debt, this is one of the most affordable paths to a degree or transfer in Washington state, which is a genuine advantage. However, the 41% graduation rate is worth paying attention to — many students don't finish, so going in with a clear plan and strong support system matters. If you're looking to transfer to a four-year school or earn a career-focused certificate on a tight budget, this is a solid option, but the $33,100 median earnings at 10 years suggests the bachelor's programs here likely won't fast-track you into a high-earning career.
