About This School
Great Lakes Institute of Technology is a private for-profit institution located in Erie, Pennsylvania with approximately 335 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $17,540 per year. Typical graduates earn $24,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of just $24,900 ten years out, which is modest but somewhat offset by the relatively low median debt of $9,014 at graduation. Worth considering if you're pursuing a specific technical trade program and want to minimize borrowing, but the small enrollment of 303 students and for-profit status mean you should verify program accreditation carefully and compare outcomes against community college alternatives in the region. Ask the school directly for job placement rates before committing.
