Tennessee College
of Applied Technology-Oneida-Huntsville
Public Community College in Huntsville, TN. Six-year graduation rate 74%. Median 10-year earnings $31,949.
Ten-year median earnings of $31,949 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. The six-year graduation rate of 74% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
74% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 77% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. A 7:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a public community college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 659 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 287 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $17,117 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $15,866 at $0–30k, $16,720 at $75–110k. 68% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,074 — common but not automatic.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $15,866 |
| $30–48k | $14,737 |
| $48–75k | $15,836 |
| $75–110k | $16,720 |
