San Jacinto Community College is a public institution located in Pasadena, Texas with approximately 23,071 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,540 per year. The graduation rate is 34%, and the typical graduate earns $42,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
San Jacinto College is a public community college in the Greater Houston area, with its campuses in Pasadena and Houston, Texas. Established in 1961, San Jacinto College originally consisted of the independent school districts (ISD) of Channelview, Deer Park, Galena Park, La Porte, and Pasadena.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $7,540/year after aid and only $5,750 in median debt at graduation, this Greater Houston-area college is genuinely affordable, making it a smart starting point for students watching their budget. However, the 34% graduation rate is a real concern — most students who start here don't finish, so you'll want to ask hard questions about support services and have a clear plan to stay on track. If you complete a degree or certificate, median earnings of $42,600 a decade out are reasonable for a two-year institution, but success here will depend heavily on your own focus and follow-through.
