About This School
Tennessee College of Applied Technology-Dickson is a public institution located in Dickson, Tennessee with approximately 622 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,332 per year. Typical graduates earn $27,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
This is a strong option for students seeking affordable, hands-on technical training — at just $8,332 per year after aid, the cost is genuinely low for a public institution. However, the median earnings of $27,900 a decade after enrollment are modest, so it's worth being clear-eyed that this path leads to stable, skilled trade work rather than high-income careers. Worth considering if you want a practical credential without significant debt, especially in fields like HVAC, welding, or cosmetology where local job demand is steady.
