FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedSpringfield Technical Community College does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $54,751, above the $39,139 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Massachusetts.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: a large share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 1,716 of Springfield Technical Community College's 4,561 students (38%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 1,883 (41%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions
About Springfield Technical Community College
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Springfield Technical Community College located?
- Springfield Technical Community College is located in Springfield, MA, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Springfield Technical Community College?
- Springfield Technical Community College is a public community college based in MA. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- Is Springfield Technical Community College open admission?
- Yes. Springfield Technical Community College reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.
- What is the tuition at Springfield Technical Community College?
- Springfield Technical Community College's published in-state tuition is approximately $5,904 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend Springfield Technical Community College?
- Springfield Technical Community College reports total enrollment of approximately 5,447 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does Springfield Technical Community College actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at Springfield Technical Community College is approximately $5,662 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $4,250 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $13,867. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at Springfield Technical Community College?
- Springfield Technical Community College reports a graduation rate of approximately 32% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Springfield Technical Community College have?
- Students who borrowed at Springfield Technical Community College left with a median of approximately $6,570 in federal loans, and about 22% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Springfield Technical Community College earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $36,966 for students who received federal financial aid at Springfield Technical Community College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Springfield Technical Community College?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Springfield Technical Community College.
- How much do Liberal Arts and General Studies graduates from Springfield Technical Community College earn?
- Springfield Technical Community College's associate's graduates in Liberal Arts and General Studies earned a median $42,074 four years after graduating, 5% below the $44,125 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $30,413; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $6,734 in federal loans at this college (about $71 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $8,734 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
- How much do Nursing (RN) graduates from Springfield Technical Community College earn?
- Springfield Technical Community College's associate's graduates in Nursing (RN) earned a median $86,833 four years after graduating, 7% above the $80,813 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $75,769; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $8,107 in federal loans at this college (about $86 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $17,135 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). For context, registered nurses in Massachusetts are paid a median $104,550 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.
- Which programs at Springfield Technical Community College have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 11 programs at Springfield Technical Community College with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Nursing (RN), associate's ($86,833); Mechanical Engineering Related Technologies/Technicians, associate's ($71,319); and Allied Health (diagnostic and treatment), associate's ($67,395) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does Springfield Technical Community College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Springfield Technical Community College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $54,751, above the $39,139 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Massachusetts, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
