The numbers tell a genuinely encouraging story here — with an average net price of just $1,335 per year and median debt at graduation of only $6,000, this is one of the most affordable paths to a college credential you'll find anywhere. Worth considering strongly if you're cost-conscious, local to western Michigan, and looking for a low-risk way to complete general education credits or earn a two-year degree before transferring.
