WKCTC is a community-based college close to home with caring faculty and staff who will help you meet your education and career goals.  Studying at a community college offers easy, open admissions policies, affordable tuition, convenient classes, innovative programs, supportive learning environment with small classes, excellent library resources and services, and fully transferable credits to other colleges and universities.

All students commute to and from the campus and must provide their own mode of transportation. The college does not provide on-campus housing. In addition to the general admission requirements, every non-resident alien applicant must meet the overall requirements, standards, and guidelines of local and national immigration laws and regulations in order to be granted student visa status.  The Form I-20 is issued to perspective students to obtain the F-1 or M-1 student visa.

We invite you to become part of our college family.  WKCTC is the Place to be!
