About This School

Ocean County Vocational-Technical School is a public institution located in Toms River, New Jersey with approximately 450 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,226 per year. Typical graduates earn $40,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable, career-focused path — graduates leave with just $5,500 in median debt, which is remarkably low and a genuine financial advantage. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $40,000 a decade out, so this school makes the most sense if you're targeting a specific trade or technical field where local demand is strong, not if you're chasing a high salary ceiling. The small enrollment of 450 students suggests a tight-knit, hands-on environment, but you'll want to confirm that your specific program has solid job placement before committing.
