About This School

NASCAR Technical Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Mooresville, North Carolina with approximately 1,345 undergraduate students enrolled.

Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (UTI) is a private for-profit system of technical colleges in the United States. It was established in 1965 by Robert Sweet.

For a student who's passionate about motorsports and wants a direct path into the automotive industry — not a four-year degree — this school offers something genuinely rare: hands-on training with NASCAR industry ties in Mooresville, NC, which is essentially the heartbeat of professional racing. The median debt at graduation is a reasonable $13,124, and median earnings of $48,100 a decade out suggest graduates do find steady work, though that income ceiling is worth thinking about if your student has broader financial ambitions. The honest concern is the 61% graduation rate — nearly 4 in 10 students don't finish, which at $28,915 per year in net costs is a real financial risk if life gets complicated mid-program. Before enrolling, I'd encourage your family to ask the school directly what support exists for students who struggle, and to talk to working graduates about actual job placement in racing versus general auto repair, since those are very different careers.
