About This School

San Juan College is a public community college in Farmington, New Mexico. Founded in 1956 as a branch of the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, San Juan College became an independent community college following a county election in 1981.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while exploring your options — at just $4,526/year net price and a median debt of only $6,253 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely minimal. That said, the median earnings of $36,700 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a starting point — think transfer pathway or career training — rather than a long-term credential for high-earning fields.
