Cape Coral
Technical College
Public College in Cape Coral, FL. Median 10-year earnings $36,080.
Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. First-year retention of 86% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Retention drops to 69% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 490 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $1,808 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. 44% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

| $30–48k | — |
| $48–75k | $1,463 |
