About This School

South Plains College (SPC) is a public community college in Levelland, Texas. It also has five locations in Plainview, at the Reese Technology Center, in western Lubbock, the Lubbock Downtown Center and the Career and Technical Center.
With an average net price of just $7,062/year and a median graduation debt of only $6,724, this is one of the more financially sensible community college options in West Texas — you're unlikely to leave buried in loans. The multiple campus locations across Levelland and Lubbock add real convenience for commuter students. The one honest caveat: median earnings of $41,200 a decade out are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a launchpad — either into a four-year transfer or a specific trade/technical career — rather than an endpoint on its own.
