How many students attend Blue Mountain Community College?

How much does Blue Mountain Community College actually cost after financial aid?

The average net price at Blue Mountain Community College is approximately $13,095 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $12,374 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $17,245. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.

What is the graduation rate at Blue Mountain Community College?

Blue Mountain Community College reports a graduation rate of approximately 30% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.

How much student debt do graduates of Blue Mountain Community College have?

Students who borrowed at Blue Mountain Community College left with a median of approximately $12,000 in federal loans, and about 7% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.

How much do graduates of Blue Mountain Community College earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $38,375 for students who received federal financial aid at Blue Mountain Community College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.

How should I verify final details about Blue Mountain Community College?

CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Blue Mountain Community College.

How much do Liberal Arts and General Studies graduates from Blue Mountain Community College earn?

Blue Mountain Community College's associate's graduates in Liberal Arts and General Studies earned a median $48,015 four years after graduating, 9% above the $44,125 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $25,872; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $14,259 in federal loans at this college (about $151 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $16,009 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).

Does Blue Mountain Community College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?

No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Blue Mountain Community College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $52,041, above the $35,320 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Oregon, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
