About This School
Orion Technical College is a private for-profit institution located in Davenport, Iowa with approximately 73 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,489 per year. The graduation rate is 80%, and the typical graduate earns $39,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
Worth considering if you want a focused, hands-on technical education — the 80% graduation rate is genuinely strong for a school this size, and the $9,500 median debt at graduation is refreshingly low. The concern is the long-term payoff: median earnings of $39,100 after 10 years are modest, and at $20,489 per year in net costs, you'll want to be confident the specific credential you're earning has real demand in your local job market before enrolling.
