Prince George's Community College (PGCC) is a public community college in Largo in Prince George's County, Maryland. The college serves Prince George's County and surrounding areas, including Washington, D.C.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path to a degree or transfer — at just $6,000 in median debt at graduation, students here avoid the debt traps common at four-year schools. The net price of about $10,857/year is reasonable for a community college serving the DC metro area, giving local students a practical, low-risk option. That said, median earnings of $43,700 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about your transfer or career plan — this school works best as a stepping stone, not a final destination.
