Coastal Carolina
Community College
Public Community College in Jacksonville, NC. Six-year graduation rate 49%. Median 10-year earnings $36,444.
Students who entered Coastal Carolina Community College reach a median of $36,444 a decade later, a figure that trails the typical four-year outcome. 49% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. On economic mobility, 2.3% of students travel from the bottom income quintile to the top.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
49% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention is weak: only 59% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in five leave after one year. 18% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 36% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,688 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $9,752 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($9,187 versus $15,174), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Only 47% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $9,187 |
| $30–48k | $9,049 |
| $48–75k | $9,152 |
| $75–110k | $11,581 |
| $110k+ | $15,174 |
