About This School

Western Iowa Tech Community College is a public institution located in Sioux City, Iowa with approximately 2,589 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,875 per year. Typical graduates earn $34,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Western Iowa Tech Community College is a public community college with five campuses in northwestern Iowa. The main campus is located in Sioux City; the other campuses are located in Mapleton, Le Mars, Denison and Cherokee. The institution offers associate degree and certificate programs.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable, career-focused start — the average net price of just $8,875/year and low median debt of $7,000 at graduation make this one of the more financially accessible options around. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $34,200 a decade out, which is modest, so this college makes the most sense if you're targeting a specific in-demand trade or planning to transfer rather than stopping at an associate degree.
