Lincoln Technical Institute-Levittown
For-profit College in Levittown, PA. Six-year graduation rate 58%. Median 10-year earnings $38,683.
Ten-year median earnings of $38,683 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. 58% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Median debt at graduation is $11,250, 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 0.29 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Six-year completion sits at 58%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention of 71% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. A 27:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 550 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $26,734 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $26,095 at $0–30k, $31,450 at $110k+. Most students get help: 88% receive grants worth $4,959 on average. Most students borrow — 82% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $26,095 |
| $30–48k | $26,467 |
| $48–75k | $27,173 |
