About This School
Franklin Technology Center Adult Education is a public institution located in Joplin, Missouri with approximately 57 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $25,251 per year. Typical graduates earn $28,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: with median earnings of just $28,700 a decade after enrollment, graduates aren't seeing a strong financial return, and the $25,251 average annual net price feels steep for a 57-student vocational program with limited alumni earning power. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a manageable $7,600, meaning students who complete aren't buried in loans. Worth considering only if the specific trade or technical program you're targeting is genuinely hard to find elsewhere in the region — otherwise, compare closely with local community colleges before committing.
