Clatsop Community College is a public two-year institution in Astoria, Oregon, serving the north coast region with open-access liberal arts and sciences education. The college enrolls 813 students and operates in a town setting, drawing learners from the surrounding community who seek an affordable entry point to higher education.

In-state tuition runs $4,500 annually, with out-of-state tuition at $9,000; these figures represent the total cost of attendance, as the college does not separately charge room and board. The institution's low cost structure makes it accessible to working adults and students from rural and lower-income backgrounds in the region.

As a community college, Clatsop's strength lies in transfer pathways to four-year universities and workforce-aligned certificate programs. This college works best for students seeking affordability, flexible schedules, and a smaller learning environment before moving to a bachelor's degree program, or those pursuing short-term credentials to enter the job market quickly.
