About This School

Robeson Community College is a public institution located in Lumberton, North Carolina with approximately 1,454 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,189 per year. Typical graduates earn $24,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Robeson Community College (RCC) is a public community college in Lumberton, North Carolina. As of Fall 2018, 1,671 students were enrolled at RCC. It is part of the North Carolina Community College System.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,189/year after aid and a manageable $9,250 in median debt, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere. The concern worth naming is that median earnings of $24,800 a decade after enrollment are quite low, so your outcome will depend heavily on which program you choose — healthcare and trades credentials from RCC tend to lead somewhere, while undirected general studies may not. Worth considering if you have a specific career goal, need to stay local, and want to minimize debt while building toward a four-year transfer or a skilled trade.
