John C Calhoun State Community College

John C Calhoun State Community College is a public two-year institution located in Tanner, Alabama, with an enrollment of approximately 7,070 students.

In-state tuition is $5,120 per year, and out-of-state tuition is $8,990 per year. The average annual net price — the estimated total cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $7,660. This figure can exceed published tuition because it reflects full cost of attendance, not tuition alone. About 30.4% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal aid program for students with demonstrated financial need.

Relatively few students borrow federal loans: 17.9% of all enrolled students take out federal student loans. Among those who did borrow and completed a credential, the median federal loan debt was $12,000. Of borrowers entering repayment, 38.1% were actively reducing their loan balance within three years — meaning that just under two in five borrowers were making enough progress to bring their balance down during that window.

Median earnings stand at $38,192 per year, measured ten years after enrollment. This figure covers all federally-aided students who enrolled, including those who did not complete a credential, so it reflects a broad range of outcomes rather than the earnings of graduates alone.

The college offers programs in a range of career-focused fields. Health-related programs include Dental Hygiene, Medical Laboratory Science, Radiologic Technology, and Physician Assistant studies. Technical and trades programs include Electrician and Welding, and the school also offers training in UX Design.
