Community College District
Public Community College in McKinney, TX. Six-year graduation rate 20%. Median 10-year earnings $48,701.
Ten years after entry, the median Collin County Community College District student earns $48,701 — a solidly middle-of-the-pack result for an undergraduate institution. The six-year graduation rate is 20% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome. Graduates leave owing a median of $7,500 — modest by four-year standards.

Academics
Only 20% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential. 27% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 21:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. With 37,776 undergraduates, this is a large institution — expect the administrative scale and the range of offerings that come with it.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 25,860 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $6,970 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($7,239 versus $14,754), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Only 31% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Only 11% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $7,239 |
| $30–48k | $7,617 |
| $48–75k | $9,859 |
