About This School
TCAT Athens is a public institution located in Athens, Tennessee with approximately 205 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $34,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
This is a strong option for students seeking affordable, career-focused training — at just $3,720/year after aid, it's one of the most accessible paths to a technical credential you'll find. The small enrollment of 365 students suggests a hands-on, close-knit learning environment rather than a large campus experience. That said, median earnings of $34,200 a decade out are modest, so it's worth researching which specific programs lead to higher-paying trades before enrolling.
