About This School
Chester County Intermediate Unit is a public institution located in Downingtown, Pennsylvania with approximately 82 undergraduate students enrolled. Chester County Intermediate Unit has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 58%. The average net price after financial aid is $14,441 per year. Typical graduates earn $43,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: with only 85 students enrolled and median earnings of $43,100 a decade out, this is a small, specialized institution that likely serves a very specific professional path rather than broad career ambitions. The net price of $18,912/year is reasonable, and graduates carry a manageable debt load of $18,075, which at least means you won't be drowning financially. Worth considering only if the specific programs offered align tightly with your goals — the 49% acceptance rate suggests some selectivity, but the tiny enrollment means you should dig hard into exactly what credentials or outcomes this institution is actually designed to deliver.
