About This School
Lincoln Technical Institute-Union is a private for-profit institution located in Union, New Jersey with approximately 1,785 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $27,311 per year. The graduation rate is 74%, and the typical graduate earns $38,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are focused on getting into a skilled trade or technical career quickly — and who want to stay in the New Jersey area — will find this school worth a serious look, especially given the manageable debt load of just $11,730 at graduation, which is well below average for similar programs. The 74% graduation rate is actually a genuine strength for a vocational institution, suggesting that most students who start here do finish. The honest concern is the earning side of the equation: median earnings of $38,200 a decade after enrollment are modest, and when you stack that against a net price of $27,311 per year, families should think carefully about total borrowing and whether the specific program leads to a field with room to grow in salary. Before committing, ask the admissions office for program-specific placement rates and starting wages — not school-wide averages — because outcomes vary significantly by trade. If the numbers work for your particular program and you have a clear career target in mind, this can be a solid, practical choice; if you're still exploring, take more time before signing anything.
