About This School
Tulsa Welding School-Houston is a private for-profit institution located in Houston, Texas with approximately 1,962 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $35,101 per year. The graduation rate is 68%, and the typical graduate earns $42,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are focused, career-driven, and ready to enter the skilled trades quickly will find this school worth a serious look — it's built for people who want to weld professionally, not explore a broad curriculum. The median debt at graduation is a genuinely encouraging $9,500, which is well below the national average for trade programs and means most graduates aren't buried before they start working. That said, at $35,101 per year in net price, you'll want to confirm exactly what financial aid you're being offered before signing anything, because the sticker cost is steep relative to median earnings of $42,700 ten years out — that's a livable wage, but not a lot of cushion if you borrowed heavily. The 68% graduation rate is decent for a trade school but still means roughly 1 in 3 students don't finish, so ask the admissions team directly what causes students to leave and what support exists if you hit a rough patch. My practical advice: visit the Houston campus, talk to a recent graduate if you can find one, and make sure the specific welding certifications offered align with what local employers in your target industry actually want to hire.
