About This School

Nicolet Area Technical College is a public institution located in Rhinelander, Wisconsin with approximately 706 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,290 per year. Typical graduates earn $31,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

Nicolet College is a public community college with its main campus in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. It has outreach centers in Carter, Crandon, Eagle River, the Forest County Potawatomi Community, Lac du Flambeau, Minocqua, Mole Lake, and Tomahawk.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into a trade or technical career in northern Wisconsin — at just $9,290/year net price and a remarkably low median debt of $3,500 at graduation, the financial risk here is minimal. That said, the median earnings of $31,400 a decade out are modest, so this school makes the most sense for students targeting specific regional industries or planning to transfer rather than those expecting high earning potential long-term.
