This is a strong option for students who know they want hands-on technical training in fields like automotive, electrical, or construction, where a median salary of $50,900 a decade out is solid for the cost — especially with a relatively low median debt of just $9,813. The net price of roughly $17,000 per year is reasonable for a private school, and the focused program offerings mean you're not paying for courses you don't need. The one real concern: only half of students graduate, so ask hard questions about what support is in place to help you finish.
