About This School
Upper Valley Career Center is a public institution located in Piqua, Ohio with approximately 113 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,505 per year. Typical graduates earn $35,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable, career-focused program — graduates carry a notably low median debt of just $6,333, which is a real advantage. However, the median earnings of $35,000 a decade out suggest this path leads to stable but modest income, so make sure the specific career track you're pursuing has stronger earning potential in your region. The tiny enrollment of 113 students means a tight-knit environment, but also limited program variety, so confirm your field of interest is well-supported here before committing.
