Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) is a public community college and technical college in the Truckee Meadows of Reno, Nevada. The college is primarily a commuter campus with 4 locations. TMCC offers students both certificate and associate degrees. In 2015, TMCC was approved to offer two Bachelor of Applied Science degrees, one in Logistics Operations Management and the other in Emergency Management and Homeland Security.
At just $7,457/year after aid and a median debt of only $6,999 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths to a certificate, associate degree, or even a Bachelor of Applied Science in fields like Logistics or Emergency Management — all in the Reno area. The 28% graduation rate is a real concern, suggesting many students struggle to finish, so come in with a clear plan and strong support systems. Worth considering if you need flexibility and low cost, but treat that completion rate as a warning to stay focused.
