Putnam Career
and Technical Center
Public College in Eleanor, WV. Median 10-year earnings $36,203.
Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 7:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 63 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 63 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $1,975 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. About 57% get grants averaging $5,156, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.
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.
