About This School

Virginia Peninsula Community College is a public institution located in Hampton, Virginia with approximately 3,901 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,468 per year. Typical graduates earn $33,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Virginia Peninsula Community College (VPCC) is a public community college with two campuses in Virginia, one in Hampton and the other in James City County. It also has two education centers The Southeast Higher Education Center in Newport News and the Williamsburg Discovery Center in Williamsburg. It is part of the Virginia Community College System. It mostly serves students living on the Peninsula region of Hampton Roads, but it also has students from other parts of southeastern Virginia.

This is a strong option for cost-conscious students on the Virginia Peninsula — at just $6,468 per year after aid and a median debt of only $7,130, you can complete your studies without a crushing financial burden. However, the median earnings of $33,200 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this college makes the most sense as a launching pad — either transferring to a four-year school or entering a specific trade or technical field with a clear career target in mind. Go in with a plan, and the low cost works in your favor; go in without one, and the earnings ceiling may feel tight.
