Northcentral Technical College (NTC) is a public community college in Wausau, Wisconsin. It is a member of the Wisconsin Technical College System. The district of the college includes all of, or portions of, Marathon, Lincoln, Taylor, Price, Langlade, Menominee, Clark, Portage, Shawano and Waupaca counties. The main campus is located in Wausau. There are regional centers in Antigo, Medford, Merrill, Phillips, Spencer and Wittenberg.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable, practical credential — median debt at graduation is just $5,250, which is refreshingly low and leaves you in a solid position financially. That said, median earnings of $37,000 ten years out are modest, so this school makes the most sense for students pursuing specific in-demand trades or technical fields in the region rather than chasing a big salary bump. If your program aligns with local employer needs in central Wisconsin, the low cost and manageable debt make this a smart, low-risk investment.
