About This School

Quinsigamond Community College is a public institution located in Worcester, Massachusetts with approximately 6,447 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,090 per year. Typical graduates earn $39,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Quinsigamond Community College (colloq: QCC, Quinsig) is a public community college in Worcester, Massachusetts. It has an enrollment of over 7,000 students. Many students are enrolled in the college's transfer program, MassTransfer, with the intent of continuing on to a college or university in the state.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs down while staying local — at roughly $7,800/year after aid and only $10,500 in median debt at graduation, the financial picture is genuinely manageable. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $39,200 a decade out, which is modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether it has a clear transfer pathway or job placement track. This school makes the most sense as a cost-conscious stepping stone — either into a four-year program or a specific vocational career — rather than a destination in itself.
