About This School
Universal Technical Institute-Dallas Fort Worth is a private for-profit institution located in Irving, Texas with approximately 1,610 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $26,265 per year. The graduation rate is 71%, and the typical graduate earns $50,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
If your student knows they want a career in the skilled trades — automotive, diesel, collision repair — and wants to get in, get trained, and get working, this school is built exactly for that path. The graduation rate of 71% is solid for a vocational institution, and the median debt at graduation of $14,267 is genuinely manageable, especially compared to what four-year schools often leave students carrying. That said, the net price of $26,265 per year deserves a hard look — for a program that typically runs under two years, the total cost adds up quickly, so make sure you're comparing that against realistic local starting salaries, not just the median earnings figure of $50,600, which reflects workers a full decade out. The stronger move before enrolling is to ask UTI directly about job placement rates and which employer partners are actively hiring in the DFW area, since the school's industry connections are a big part of what you're paying for. If those relationships are strong and your student has a clear trade in mind, this can be a smart, focused investment — just go in with your eyes open on the finances.
