Elizabethtown Community and Technical College (ECTC) is a public community college in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. It is part of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS).

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path to a two-year degree — at just $5,594 per year in average net price and a median debt of only $5,975 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $31,400 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a launching pad — whether that's transferring to a four-year university or entering a specific trade or technical field with clear local demand.
