Institute of Technology
For-profit Community College in Clovis, CA. Six-year graduation rate 73%. Median 10-year earnings $35,095.
Ten-year median earnings of $35,095 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Completion is a strength: 74% of students finish within six years. Median debt at graduation is $9,500, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.27 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Six-year completion runs to 74% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 80% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 17:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. 2,264 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,254 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $21,358 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $21,889 at $0–30k, $28,337 at $110k+. 64% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,019 — common but not automatic. 67% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $21,889 |
| $30–48k | $23,069 |
| $48–75k | $21,729 |
