Rowan–Cabarrus Community College (RCCC) is a public community college in Rowan County and Cabarrus County, North Carolina. It is part of the North Carolina Community College System.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and get into the workforce quickly — at just $4,842 per year after aid and a median debt of only $8,457 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths available. That said, the median earnings of $27,300 ten years out are modest, so this college makes the most sense as a launchpad for specific career programs or as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer, rather than a destination for maximizing long-term earning potential.
