About This School

Washington State Community College is a public institution located in Marietta, Ohio with approximately 1,002 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,913 per year. The graduation rate is 32%, and the typical graduate earns $31,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

Washington State College of Ohio is a public community college in Marietta, Ohio, United States. It was established in 1971 as Washington Technical Institute and moved to its current location in 1991. In December 2023, Washington State Community College received approval from the Ohio Department of Higher Education to change its name to its current name.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $8,913/year after aid and a low median debt of $6,750, this is one of the more affordable paths to a credential in Ohio. However, the 32% graduation rate is a real concern — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $31,300 a decade out suggest the programs lead primarily to modest-wage work. Worth considering if you have a clear, short-term vocational goal and a solid plan to stay enrolled, but it's not a place to go undecided and hope for the best.
