About This School
Universal Technical Institute of Illinois Inc is a private for-profit institution located in Lisle, Illinois with approximately 1,156 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $27,060 per year. The graduation rate is 61%, and the typical graduate earns $48,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are serious about entering the skilled trades — specifically automotive, diesel, or related technical fields — and want a focused, career-track program rather than a traditional college experience will find this school worth a close look. The debt picture is genuinely encouraging: graduates leave with a median of just $13,124 in debt, which is modest compared to most private institutions, and median earnings of $48,100 a decade out suggest the credential does translate into real employment. That said, a 61% graduation rate means nearly four in ten students don't finish, so before enrolling, I'd want to have an honest conversation with your student about their commitment level and what support systems are in place if they hit a rough patch. At $27,060 per year in net price, this isn't cheap for a vocational program, so I'd strongly encourage comparing it against community college alternatives in Illinois that offer similar technical training at a fraction of the cost. If your student has their heart set on the trades and responds well to a structured, hands-on environment, this can be a solid path — just make sure they visit the campus, talk to recent graduates, and exhaust every financial aid option before signing anything.
