Zane State College is a public community college in Zanesville and Cambridge, Ohio, United States. It was established in 1969 as Muskingum Area Technical College.

This small community college is worth considering if you want an affordable entry point into higher education — with a median debt of just $3,995 at graduation and a net price of $7,423/year, the financial risk is genuinely low. That said, the 53% graduation rate suggests many students don't finish, and median earnings of $32,900 a decade out are modest, so it's best suited for students with a clear path toward a local career, transfer to a four-year school, or a specific technical credential rather than those hoping for a broad salary bump.
