About This School

The numbers tell a mixed story here: with a low average net price of $9,980/year and median debt of just $7,061 at graduation, this small Missouri community college is genuinely affordable and won't leave you buried in loans. The concern is the post-graduation earnings picture — median income of $29,700 a decade out is modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone toward a four-year transfer than as a final destination. Worth considering if you're looking to complete general education credits or an associate degree on a tight budget, but go in with a clear plan for what comes next.
