About This School

Delaware Technical Community College-Terry is a public institution located in Dover, Delaware with approximately 11,012 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,033 per year. The graduation rate is 19%, and the typical graduate earns $35,900 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $8,033/year after aid and only $5,500 in median debt at graduation, the cost is genuinely manageable — but the 19% graduation rate is a real concern, suggesting most students who start here don't finish. Worth considering if you have a clear, specific program goal and a solid plan to stay on track, but go in with eyes open knowing the odds of completion require serious personal commitment.
