About This School

Guilford Technical Community College is a public institution located in Jamestown, North Carolina with approximately 8,179 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,926 per year. Typical graduates earn $30,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Guilford Technical Community College is a public community college in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. It is the fourth largest institution in the North Carolina Community College System and the largest in the Piedmont Triad. Guilford Technical Community College also has campuses in Jamestown, High Point, Greensboro, and Colfax.

The largest community college in the Piedmont Triad, this is a strong option for students who want an affordable path into the workforce — median debt at graduation is just $7,915, which is notably manageable. That said, median earnings of $30,600 a decade out suggest many graduates land in lower-wage fields, so it's worth researching whether your specific program (healthcare, trades, transfer pathways) leads to stronger outcomes. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a clear goal, but less ideal if you're hoping a degree alone will drive significant earnings growth.
