Jacksonville College is a private Christian junior college in Jacksonville, Texas, United States. It is the only accredited junior college in Texas that is privately owned and operated, owned by the Baptist Missionary Association of America. The college is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. The college's current president is David Erickson, who has served in that capacity since 2023.
This tiny private college in East Texas stands out for its remarkably low median debt at graduation — just $3,500 — making it one of the more financially cautious choices a student can make. The net price of $11,674/year is reasonable, but the median earnings of $27,900 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense if you're pursuing a career path with strong local demand or planning to transfer to a larger institution. Worth considering if affordability and a small community matter to you, but go in clear-eyed about the income ceiling the outcomes data suggests.
