About This School

Stanly Community College is a public institution located in Albemarle, North Carolina with approximately 1,430 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,215 per year. Typical graduates earn $32,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

Stanly Community College (SCC) is a public community college in Albemarle, North Carolina. It is part of the North Carolina Community College System. It has a satellite campus in Locust, North Carolina and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The college serves over 10,000 students annually in associate degree, diploma, certificate, general education, occupational training, adult literacy, and a comprehensive online degree program.

At just $4,215/year after aid, this is one of the most affordable paths to a credential in the region, and the variety of programs — from associate degrees to workforce training — makes it a practical fit for students who want flexibility. That said, median earnings of $32,300 a decade out suggest many graduates land in modest-paying fields, so it's worth being strategic about which program you choose rather than assuming any credential here will significantly boost your income. A strong option if you're looking to enter a trade, build foundational skills before transferring, or minimize debt — less compelling if you're aiming for high-earning professional careers.
