TSTC Technology degree about $8,000 in Red Oak

RED OAK, ELLIS COUNTY – The $10 million, 102,000-sf Texas State Technical College (TSTC) Industrial Technology Center has opened behind Red Oak High School after nine months of construction.

The facility will allow people to get a technical degree for about $8,000, and tuition is not paid until the students have successfully found a job that pays more than minimum wage, based on the skills they’ve learned.

Currently, the Red Oak campus has 133 students already enrolled.

“Ellis County is growing similar to the way Denton and Collin County are growing on the north side of Dallas and Tarrant. The south side of the Metroplex region is now going to begin growing at a very similar rate and it’s for all the right reasons. It is the opportunity for young men and women to come here and begin living their American Dream,” said Sen. Brian Birdwell.
