Triangle Tech Inc-Greensburg
For-profit Community College in Greensburg, PA. Six-year graduation rate 62%. Median 10-year earnings $53,788.
The median ten-year earnings figure of $53,788 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. The six-year graduation rate is 62%, meaning about two in five students who start do not finish. Graduates leave owing a median of $12,000 — modest by four-year standards.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.22 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
Academics
62% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention is 78% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. The 6:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 100 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $21,592 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $19,570 at $0–30k, $26,901 at $110k+. 65% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,971 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 70% 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 | $19,570 |
| $30–48k | $17,610 |
| $48–75k | $23,872 |
