About This School
Blackhawk Technical College is a public institution located in Janesville, Wisconsin with approximately 2,488 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,330 per year. Typical graduates earn $34,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
Blackhawk Technical College is a technical school in Rock County, Wisconsin and a component of the Wisconsin Technical College System. The main campus lies between the cities of Beloit and Janesville; there are also several other locations.
Worth considering if you want an affordable, low-risk path into a trade or technical career — median debt at graduation is just $5,250, which is remarkably manageable. That said, median earnings of $34,100 a decade out are modest, so this school makes the most sense if you're targeting a specific in-demand program (healthcare, manufacturing, IT) rather than keeping your options open. It's a practical, no-frills community option that works best when you have a clear career goal in mind.
