A community college in Colorado has been ranked by Newsweek as one of the top five in the United States when it comes to graduates who earn the most money.
Colorado Northwestern Community College earned some national exposure early last week, landing on Newsweek’s Top 50 community college’s list, which ranked community colleges based on whose graduates earn the most money.
Newsweek’s list, which was compiled by Stacker, comes at a time in which many students are seeking more affordable alternatives to four-year institutions as college student loan debt rises north of $1.68 trillion.
Community colleges often cost a fraction of what a prospective student would end up spending on a four-year degree, therefore making community colleges a viable financial option for many.
That’s where CNCC comes in.

One day a year and a half ago, 31-year-old Heather Yeager, a mother of four, came home from her job as a shipping company supervisor and told her husband that she didn’t want to go back to work. She wanted to go back to school to become a nurse, pursuing a lifelong interest in the medical field.
“He said, ‘Just do it, ” Yeager said. “It all fell into place.”
After quitting her desk job, she got licensed as a certified nurse assistant and worked at the Doak Walker Care Center. She wanted to be sure nursing was the right path for her before pursuing a full-fledged nursing degree.
Details on today’s vaccine clinic
RBC | Today’s community COVID vaccination clinic will be open to the remainder of Tier 1A citizens, health care workers with less direct contact with COVID-19 patients and 70+ individuals only. Please bring proof of residency. See PAGE 6A for further details. This change is due to vaccine allocation and the fact we did not receive the planned allotment, along with new guidelines from the CDPHE. Testing for COVID-19 is recommended for all symptomatic individuals and all individuals who have been exposed to a known case. If you have no symptoms, but have been exposed, it is advised to test 5-7 days after your last known exposure, or as soon as possible after you begin to develop symptoms. Testing is available at both Meeker and Rangely public health Monday through from 10 to 11 a.m. Please do not call for an appointment. Vehicles will be served in order of arrival.
