Still on Top

For the fifth year running, Manhattan Tech has been ranked among the top five community colleges in the United States by WalletHub.  

That’s not luck.  

That’s years of showing up, putting in the work, and doing right by our students. 

In the 2025 rankings released this week, we earned the #2 spot nationwide, following our #1 ranking in 2024. 

And we have no plans to slow down. 

“We are incredibly proud to once again be recognized as one of the best two-year colleges in the nation,” said Chris Boxberger, Vice President of Education and Engagement.

“Our faculty, staff, and students bring their best every day to make Manhattan Tech a place where quality, hands-on education leads directly to career and life success.” 

This recognition isn’t just about numbers on a list. It’s about the grit in our classrooms, the skill in our labs, and the determination of every student who walks through our doors. 

We call it HIRE Education because we offer hands-on training that gets people working in good-paying, in-demand careers. From welding bays to nursing labs, to computer screens, we train people for the jobs that keep our communities running. 

“Being ranked in the top five for five consecutive years shows this isn’t just a moment. It’s a lasting commitment to creating opportunities, adapting to a changing world, and ensuring Manhattan Tech remains a place where future generations can thrive,” Boxberger added. 

National spotlight or not, we’ll keep doing what we’ve always done. 

Teach, train, and turn out graduates who are ready to get after it.
