About This School

Scottsdale Community College is a public institution located in Scottsdale, Arizona with approximately 4,274 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $14,380 per year. Typical graduates earn $42,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Scottsdale Community College is a public community college just outside of Scottsdale, Arizona. It is on the city's eastern boundary, on 160 acres of land belonging to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. The lease was taken out in 1970 and expires in 2069. The college is part of the Maricopa County Community College District.

Worth considering if you're looking to minimize debt while keeping options open — graduates leave with just $4,500 in median debt, which is remarkably low and gives you real financial flexibility. The $42,500 median earnings at 10 years is modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer rather than a terminal credential. At $14,380/year net price, it's a cost-effective way to complete general education requirements before moving on.
