About This School

Flint Hills Technical College (FHTC) is a public community college in Emporia, Kansas, United States.

Worth considering if you want a low-cost technical education with minimal debt — graduates leave with just $6,365 in debt on average, which is genuinely low compared to most schools. The tradeoff is that median earnings sit at $34,700 ten years out, so this path works best if you're targeting a specific trade or local career rather than chasing high salaries. The tiny enrollment of 341 students means a tight-knit environment, but also limited program variety, so make sure the career you want is actually offered here before committing.
