About This School

Lamar Institute of Technology is a public institution located in Beaumont, Texas with approximately 2,937 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,167 per year. Typical graduates earn $45,900 within 10 years of enrollment.

Lamar Institute of Technology is a public technical school in Beaumont, Texas. It was formerly a part of Lamar University, but became a separate institution when the university joined the Texas State University System in 1995.

This is a strong option for students focused on technical and vocational careers who want to keep costs low — with an average net price of just $8,167/year and median debt at graduation of only $8,287, you can enter the workforce without being buried in loans. Median earnings of $45,900 a decade out are modest but reasonable given the career paths this school prepares students for, and the low debt load makes that income stretch further than it would at a pricier school. Worth considering if you have a clear vocational goal and want an affordable, focused credential rather than a traditional four-year college experience.
