About This School
Orion Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Perrysburg, Ohio with approximately 44 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $27,750 per year. The graduation rate is 81%, and the typical graduate earns $25,847 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school may appeal to students who want a very small, personalized environment and are drawn to a specific vocational or technical program that Orion offers — but families should go in with eyes wide open. The debt load at graduation is actually quite manageable at $7,885, which is well below the national average, and the 81% graduation rate is genuinely solid for an institution this size. The concern that keeps me up at night here, though, is the median earnings figure: graduates are bringing home around $25,847 a decade after enrolling, which barely clears the federal poverty line for a family of two and makes that $27,750 annual price tag feel steep even with low debt. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage your student to talk directly with graduates in their specific program and ask hard questions about job placement, because the earnings data suggests this credential may not be moving the needle for most students financially. If there's a comparable program at a community college or regional public university nearby, run that comparison first.
