About This School
Southwest Texas Junior College is a public institution located in Uvalde, Texas with approximately 3,170 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,634 per year. Typical graduates earn $33,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
Southwest Texas College, formerly Southwest Texas Junior College (SWTJC), is a public community college with four campuses serving 11 counties in southwest Texas: unincorporated Uvalde County, Del Rio, next to Del Rio International Airport, unincorporated Maverick County, and Crystal City, the seat of Zavala County.
The numbers tell a reasonably encouraging story here: at just $7,634 per year after aid and a median debt of only $5,750 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable community college options in Texas, making it a smart starting point for students watching their budget. The main concern worth flagging is that median earnings of $33,800 a decade after enrollment are modest, so if you're aiming for a career with strong earning potential, be intentional about which transfer path or workforce program you choose rather than assuming the degree alone will get you there. Worth considering if you need an affordable on-ramp to a four-year school or a technical credential — just go in with a clear plan.
