About This School

Wilson Community College is a public institution located in Wilson, North Carolina with approximately 807 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,753 per year. Typical graduates earn $26,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Wilson Community College is a public community college in Wilson, North Carolina. It was established in 1958 and is part of the North Carolina Community College System.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable way to start your college journey — at just $6,753 per year after aid and a median debt of only $9,004 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. The main concern is the earnings picture: graduates are making around $26,800 a decade after enrolling, which is modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer program rather than a terminal degree. If you're budget-conscious and planning to transfer, this small Wilson, NC campus could be a smart first move.
