About This School

Roane State Community College is a public institution located in Harriman, Tennessee with approximately 3,203 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,017 per year. Typical graduates earn $32,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Roane State Community College is a public community college in eastern Tennessee, with its main campus in Harriman in Roane County. It was authorized by the Tennessee General Assembly in 1969, along with two other community colleges, and operates under the authority of the Tennessee Board of Regents.

This is a strong option for students who want an affordable start — at just $6,017/year average net cost and a median debt of only $6,426, you can complete your studies without a crushing financial burden. That said, the median earnings of $32,600 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a career in a field where local wages are competitive, rather than an endpoint for anyone chasing higher earning potential.
