They are pay only: health insurance, retirement contributions and other benefits are not included.

Graduates per year from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) 2022-23 Completions survey. Earnings and debt are College Scorecard field-of-study medians for graduates of this program at this campus (reported at the 4-digit program level, so closely related programs share a figure); "not reported" means too few graduates were counted to publish a figure.

About this school

Metro Technology Centers is a public trade and career-training campus in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It participates in federal Title IV student aid, meaning eligible students can use FAFSA and Pell Grants to help pay for programs. The school is accredited, with program-specific accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing and the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology, alongside oversight from the Oklahoma Board of Career and Technology Education. Across 19 program families, the campus awards the most credentials in aviation maintenance (A&P), CNA classes, and LPN/LVN programs.

Federal data shows a completion rate of 35.0%, which is below the state average of 69.1%. Graduates who took out loans carried a median debt of $9,500, and median earnings ten years after entry were $38,830. Annual cost of attendance is reported at $11,478, and 14.4% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a modest share of low-income enrollment relative to some other campuses.

This campus may suit students seeking shorter, hands-on credential paths in healthcare support, aviation maintenance, or licensed practical nursing rather than a multi-year associate degree track, though specific program lengths are not detailed here. Career changers should independently confirm program length, schedule, and licensing requirements directly with the school. Anyone considering enrollment should verify current accreditation status and outcomes through the school's accreditors and the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard before applying, since figures can change from year to year and some details are not reported for this campus in federal data.
