The average net price after financial aid is $16,685 per year. The graduation rate is 33%, and the typical graduate earns $32,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
Pennsylvania Institute of Technology is a private junior college and technical school in Upper Providence Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, near Media. The college, which typically enrolls between 450 and 850 students, is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the low median debt of $6,334 is genuinely appealing, and the affordable net price makes this accessible for students watching their budget. However, a 33% graduation rate is a serious red flag worth discussing, meaning most students who start here don't finish — and those who do are earning a median of $32,500 a decade out, which is modest for the investment of time and money. Worth considering only if you have a very specific technical program in mind and a clear plan to stay on track to completion.
