Yuba College is a public community college in Marysville, Yuba County, California. It is part of the Yuba Community College District.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,573/year after aid and a manageable $6,000 median debt at graduation, this is one of the most affordable entry points into higher education you'll find. However, graduates tend to earn around $34,700 a decade out, which is modest and worth weighing if you're planning to stop at an associate degree — this school makes the most sense as a cost-effective launchpad for transfer to a four-year university rather than a career endpoint.
