About This School

Gateway Community and Technical College is a public institution located in Florence, Kentucky with approximately 3,167 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,725 per year. Typical graduates earn $31,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Gateway Community & Technical College is a public community college in Covington, Kentucky. It is part of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). Gateway enrolls over 5,000 students. The college provides transfer and career education and training and offers more than 200 associate degrees, diplomas and certificates in 30 subject areas. Classes are provided at three Gateway locations in Boone County, Covington, and Edgewood. Through partnerships with more than 400 local businesses, Gateway provides customized, short-term training to more than 3,000 other people.

This is a strong option for students seeking an affordable path to a career or transfer degree — at just $5,897/year average net cost and a median graduation debt of only $8,000, the financial risk is genuinely low. However, be clear-eyed about the earnings side: the median income 10 years out is $31,700, which is modest, so the payoff depends heavily on which program you choose and what you do with it. Worth considering if you're pursuing a specific technical certificate, a two-year transfer path to a four-year school, or need flexibility across their Boone County, Covington, and Edgewood locations.
