About This School

Fort Hays Tech | Northwest is a public technical college in Goodland, Kansas, United States. The college offers 19 different programs ranging from diesel technology to medical assistant. The college also offers certificates and associate degrees.

Worth considering if you're pursuing a hands-on technical or trade career and want to keep costs manageable — graduates carry a median debt of just $8,717, which is genuinely low compared to most schools. The small enrollment of 314 students means a more personal experience, and median earnings of $39,800 a decade out are reasonable for skilled trades work, though not a path to high earning power. If you're eyeing a four-year degree or a higher-salary profession, this isn't the right fit — but for focused technical training at an honest price, the numbers here are hard to argue with.
