About This School
Lincoln Technical Institute-South Plainfield is a private for-profit institution located in South Plainfield, New Jersey with approximately 335 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $31,575 per year. The graduation rate is 76%, and the typical graduate earns $38,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are focused on skilled trades and want a direct path from training to employment will find the most value here — this is not a traditional liberal arts path, and it works best for learners who are clear-eyed about that. The graduation rate of 76% is genuinely solid for a vocational institution, which tells you that students who enroll tend to finish, and the median debt at graduation of $11,730 is impressively low compared to most private schools. The bigger concern worth sitting with is the annual net price of $31,575 — that's a significant annual cost for a program where median earnings land at $38,200 a decade out, so the math on return requires careful thought, especially if borrowing is involved. Before committing, I'd strongly encourage asking the admissions office for specific job placement rates and starting salaries in your exact program, not just school-wide averages, because outcomes can vary widely by trade. If you already have a specific career in mind and this school trains for it well, it can be a reasonable choice — just go in with a budget plan and realistic salary expectations, not a hope that the numbers will work themselves out.
