About This School

Sussex County Community College is a public institution located in Newton, New Jersey with approximately 2,055 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,054 per year. Typical graduates earn $37,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Sussex County Community College (SCCC) is a public community college in the town of Newton in Sussex County, New Jersey. It is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and several of its programs are further accredited or approved by state government agencies and national occupational standards associations.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and test the waters of college — at just $7,054/year after aid and a median graduation debt of only $6,000, the financial risk here is genuinely minimal. That said, median earnings of $37,700 a decade out suggest this is best treated as a stepping stone — either to a four-year transfer or a specific vocational credential — rather than a final destination. If you have a clear transfer plan or a targeted program in mind, this small Newton campus can be a smart, affordable first move.
