About This School
Southern Missouri Technical Institute is a public institution located in West Plains, Missouri with approximately 58 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $21,721 per year. Typical graduates earn $30,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $30,100 ten years out, which is modest but somewhat offset by the relatively low median debt of $8,994 at graduation. With only 58 students enrolled, you'll get a small, personal environment — but that also raises questions about resources, program variety, and long-term institutional stability. Worth considering if you're pursuing a specific technical trade and want to minimize borrowing, but make sure the program you want is a strong fit before committing to the $21,721 annual net price.
