FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedBolivar Technical College does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $51,435, above the $33,703 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Missouri.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 12 of Bolivar Technical College's 144 students (8%) were enrolled entirely at a distance.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions
About Bolivar Technical College
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Bolivar Technical College located?
- Bolivar Technical College is located in Bolivar, MO, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Bolivar Technical College?
- Bolivar Technical College is a private university based in MO. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at Bolivar Technical College?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at Bolivar Technical College is approximately 95% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at Bolivar Technical College?
- Bolivar Technical College's published in-state tuition is approximately $28,390 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend Bolivar Technical College?
- Bolivar Technical College reports total enrollment of approximately 144 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- What is the graduation rate at Bolivar Technical College?
- Bolivar Technical College reports a graduation rate of approximately 92% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Bolivar Technical College have?
- Students who borrowed at Bolivar Technical College left with a median of approximately $15,000 in federal loans, and about 67% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How should I verify final details about Bolivar Technical College?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Bolivar Technical College.
- How much do Nursing (RN) graduates from Bolivar Technical College earn?
- Bolivar Technical College's associate's graduates in Nursing (RN) earned a median $50,572 four years after graduating, 37% below the $80,813 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $56,383; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $19,534 in federal loans at this college (about $207 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $25,258 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). For context, registered nurses in Missouri are paid a median $81,780 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.
- Does Bolivar Technical College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Bolivar Technical College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $51,435, above the $33,703 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Missouri, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
