About This School

Jefferson Community and Technical College is a public institution located in Louisville, Kentucky with approximately 7,105 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,058 per year. Typical graduates earn $31,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) is a public community college in Louisville, Kentucky. It is part of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System and the largest college in that system. JCTC was formed on July 1, 2005, by the consolidation of Jefferson Community College and Jefferson Technical College. Jefferson Community College was originally chartered in 1968 and Jefferson Technical College was chartered in 1953. JCTC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

The largest college in Kentucky's community college system, this Louisville institution offers a genuinely affordable path to a credential — with an average net price of just $6,058/year and median graduation debt of under $7,000. Worth considering if you're pursuing a technical trade, an associate degree, or a transfer pathway to a four-year school on a tight budget. That said, median earnings of $31,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether it aligns with higher-earning career tracks in healthcare or skilled trades.
