Spokane Community College is a public institution located in Spokane, Washington with approximately 4,533 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,473 per year. The graduation rate is 33%, and the typical graduate earns $37,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
Spokane Community College is a public community college in Spokane, Washington. It is part of the Community Colleges of Spokane and was established in 1963.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $6,206/year after aid and only $8,625 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths through a two-year degree in the region. That said, the 37% graduation rate is a real concern — more students leave without finishing than complete the program — so you'll want to go in with a clear plan and strong support system. If you're aiming for a career-focused certificate or a transfer pathway and can stay motivated without much hand-holding, it's worth a serious look; just don't expect the $37,200 median earnings to go far if you carry even modest debt without finishing.
