Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) is a public community college in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, United States. The main campus is in Pewaukee, with a satellite campus in downtown Waukesha. It is a member of the Wisconsin Technical College System.
Worth considering if you want an affordable, low-risk start to a technical career — at just $9,400/year in net costs and a median debt of only $9,500 at graduation, you won't be buried in loans. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $38,800 a decade out, which is modest but reasonable for the career-focused programs a community college like this typically offers. This is a smart fit for students pursuing a specific trade or transfer path, not for those expecting a high-salary professional career straight from a two-year degree.
