Return on Education
Is it worth your money to attend Ecotech Institute? There are many ways to estimate the financial return on your education.
We use the 10-year average earnings (the 10 years start when you enroll, so if you attend a 4-year college, this would be approximately 6 years after you graduate) and the all in one year cost of attending the school. The all in cost is the sum of tuition, fees, and on-campus housing.
By comparing the two, you can get a sense if what the average graduate in early to mid career makes at least covers your cost of attending one year of school.
A higher number is better.
Note: Housing costs are for on-campus housing.
