Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into higher education — at just $9,215/year average net price and a median debt of under $10,000, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $35,000 a decade out suggest this is best used as a launchpad — ideally to transfer to a four-year school or earn a targeted certificate with a clear career on the other end. With over 100 programs and a strong continuing education presence, it serves a wide range of students, but you'll want a specific plan to make the most of it.
