Cost Overview

Families earning under $48,000 pay around $18,700 per year after aid, while those making over $110,000 face the full $29,400 annual cost. Over two years, total expenses range from $37,400 to $58,800 depending on family income. The school targets working-class students pursuing technical careers, with 70% receiving Pell Grants.

Most graduates earn $40,100 within a year of completing their drafting or CAD programs. Federal loans carry a 63% repayment rate, suggesting some struggle with debt relative to starting salaries. However, earnings jump to $62,400 after ten years in the field. The 93% employment rate reflects strong industry demand for these technical skills.

Lower-income students get the strongest value here, paying roughly half what wealthy families do while accessing the same career-focused training that leads to solid middle-class employment in engineering and construction industries.
