About This School
Academy of Careers and Technology is a public institution located in Beckley, West Virginia with approximately 147 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $3,350 per year. Typical graduates earn $32,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,350 per year after aid, this is one of the most affordable paths to a credential you'll find anywhere, which matters enormously for students watching their debt load. However, the median earnings of $32,400 a decade out are modest, so this makes the most sense if you're pursuing a specific vocational trade with a clear local job market rather than expecting a high-salary career trajectory. The tiny enrollment of 147 students means a tight-knit environment, but do your homework on program completion rates and job placement before committing.
