Marion Technical College, is a public technical college in Marion, Ohio, United States. It shares a campus with Ohio State University at Marion. Founded in 1970 with classes beginning in 1971, MTC has awarded over 7,500 associate degrees. The college offers associate degrees, certificates, and transfer programs in the areas of Business, Engineering, Information Technology, Public Service, Health, and Arts and Sciences. As of 2023, it offered one Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. The college practices open admissions. Some Marion Tech professors teach courses at local high schools for qualified students to earn college credits. High school students comprise 55% of MTC's enrollment, making them the student majority and the cause of increased enrollment at the college over the past decade.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,114 per year after aid, the cost is genuinely hard to beat for a technical certificate or associate degree, and the Ohio-based campus sharing space with Ohio State at Marion adds some academic credibility. However, median earnings of $23,800 a decade after enrollment are a real concern — that's a modest return that leaves little financial cushion, especially if any loans are involved. Worth considering if you need an affordable, short-term credential and have a clear career path in mind, but look closely at earnings specific to your program before committing.
