Huntington Junior College tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $10,050
Finding Huntington Junior College charges about 0.3× the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $10,050. That is about 0.3× the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the West Virginia median ($9,574), sticker tuition is 5% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 16% below.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.
Interpretation Published tuition measures sticker price relative to private non-profit and geographic peers; it does not equal what undergraduates typically pay after aid.
Limitation Sticker comparisons omit room, board, and institutional aid; average net price and income-band net prices are the stronger signals of typical family cost.
Evidence: published tuition at Huntington Junior College versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at Huntington Junior College versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Huntington Junior College is $9,422.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $9,422 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $308 above the West Virginia median net price. Versus town campuses, net price runs $5,549 below the locale median.
Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Huntington Junior College located?
Huntington Junior College is located in Huntington, WV.
What is Huntington Junior College's tuition?
Huntington Junior College tuition (published undergraduate sticker price) is $10,050 in the latest College Scorecard data. Average net price after grant aid is $9,422 for undergraduates receiving Title IV aid.
How much does Huntington Junior College cost?
Reported tuition is $10,050 and average net price is $9,422 in the latest College Scorecard data. On-campus room and board is estimated at $6,495 annually.
Why is Huntington Junior College's net price so much lower than tuition?
At Huntington Junior College, published tuition is $10,050 while average net price is $9,422—about 6% lower. Average net price subtracts grant and scholarship aid from cost of attendance for undergraduates receiving Title IV aid (College Scorecard). Institutional aid therefore compresses sticker price into a lower typical undergraduate cost signal. The campus average still masks large differences by household income; income-band net prices can diverge sharply from the overall average. EDsmart Data treats the sticker–net gap as an analytical finding, not advice about individual aid offers.
What explains Huntington Junior College's return on investment in EDsmart Data?
EDsmart Data models ROI using campus average net price ($9,422), completion (25.0% within 150% of normal time where reported), and median earnings ten years after entry ($21,783). High completion and strong mid-career earnings relative to net cost raise modeled ROI; the estimate is institution-wide and not program-specific. Debt-to-earnings ratios, when available, further contextualize borrowing pressure. Limitations include suppressed fields, program mix, and labor-market variation over time.
