About This School
Weatherford College is a public institution located in Weatherford, Texas with approximately 5,094 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,967 per year. The graduation rate is 35%, and the typical graduate earns $36,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
Weatherford College (WC) is a public community college in Weatherford, Texas, with a branch campus in nearby Wise County.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $8,664/year and a median debt of only $6,500, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere. However, the 23% graduation rate is a serious concern — most students who start here don't finish — so you'll want to honestly assess what support systems you'll need to be in that minority. If you're looking for a low-cost stepping stone to a four-year school or a specific vocational path, it can work, but go in with a clear plan and don't assume completion will happen automatically.
