About This School
Laurel Technical Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Hermitage, Pennsylvania with approximately 163 undergraduate students enrolled. Laurel Technical Institute has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 85%. The average net price after financial aid is $6,778 per year. Typical graduates earn $19,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the net price of $9,139/year is genuinely affordable and the debt load at graduation is relatively modest, median earnings of just $19,200 a decade after enrollment is a serious red flag that suggests graduates struggle to build financial momentum. Worth considering only if you have a very specific vocational goal tied to this school's programs and a clear local job market to enter — otherwise, the earning outcomes don't justify even a low-cost credential.
