About This School

Springfield Technical Community College is a public institution located in Springfield, Massachusetts with approximately 3,965 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,196 per year. Typical graduates earn $36,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Springfield Technical Community College is a public technical college in Springfield, Massachusetts. It is the only technical community college in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Located on the site of the Springfield Armory National Park, which was founded by Henry Knox and George Washington during the Revolutionary War, Springfield Technical Community College now occupies many of the buildings used by the U.S. Armory at Springfield prior to the Armory's closure in 1969. While 20 acres (81,000 m2) of the 55-acre (220,000 m2) site remain in the hands of the U.S. National Park Service for historic preservation, 35 acres (140,000 m2) comprise the college campus. Numerous historic buildings have been repurposed as classrooms, in addition to newer facilities built on-site.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into the workforce — at just $8,196/year after aid and a median debt of under $5,000 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $36,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, so be intentional about which program you choose and whether it connects to a clear career or transfer pathway.
