This is a strong option for cost-conscious students, especially those drawn to engineering or technical fields — at just $14,754/year average net price and a median debt of only $15,000 at graduation, the financial picture is genuinely manageable. The $51,200 median earnings at 10 years is decent but not exceptional, so it rewards students who choose marketable majors rather than relying on the degree alone to open doors. The 62% graduation rate is worth watching — it suggests a meaningful number of students don't finish, so come in with a clear plan and take advantage of support resources early.
