About This School
Pickens Technical College is a public institution located in Aurora, Colorado with approximately 646 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,055 per year. Typical graduates earn $35,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $7,055 per year after aid, this is one of the more affordable paths to a technical credential, making it a reasonable choice for students focused on keeping costs low. However, the median earnings of $35,900 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense for students pursuing specific trade or technical fields where that salary aligns with local demand — not for those expecting a significant income jump. Worth considering if you have a clear career target in the trades and want to avoid heavy debt, but do your homework on outcomes for your specific program.
