Educational Center and Technical College
Public Community College in Miami, FL. Six-year graduation rate 13%. Median 10-year earnings $37,543.
Ten-year median earnings of $37,543 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Only 13% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential they enrolled for.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 13% graduate within six years. 33% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. A 18:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 847 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $12,776 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $12,546 at $0–30k against $14,409 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 92% of students get grant aid averaging $2,072, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $12,546 |
| $30–48k | $12,976 |
| $48–75k | $14,409 |
