How much does Pennsylvania Institute of Technology actually cost after financial aid?

Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.

What is the graduation rate at Pennsylvania Institute of Technology?

Pennsylvania Institute of Technology reports a graduation rate of approximately 21% (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 Pennsylvania Institute of Technology have?

Students who borrowed at Pennsylvania Institute of Technology left with a median of approximately $16,500 in federal loans, and about 93% 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 much do graduates of Pennsylvania Institute of Technology earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $35,703 for students who received federal financial aid at Pennsylvania Institute of Technology. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
