North Central Texas College (NCTC) is a public community college in Gainesville, Texas. It serves Cooke County, Denton County, and Montague County, Texas.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying close to home — at just $6,714/year net price and a median debt of only $6,020 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths you'll find. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $37,600 a decade out, which is modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone — an associate degree or transfer route — rather than a final destination for students with higher earning ambitions.
