What the numbers say about Rosedale Technical College
Each finding compares this college's federal figures with other colleges. Your own price and outcome will differ.
- Price against similar colleges
- The average net price of $13,453 a year is $12,049 below the median of $25,502 across 95 private nonprofit colleges in Pennsylvania.
- Price by family income
- Families earning up to $30,000 paid $9,878 a year after grants, and families earning over $110,000 paid $19,746, a difference of $9,868: the lowest-income families paid 50% of the top bracket's price.
- Debt against earnings
- Graduates who borrowed left with a median of $12,000 in federal loans, 21% of the $57,744 median salary of former students ten years after they started. On a standard 10-year plan that is about $136 a month, 3% of a typical monthly salary.
- Graduation against selectivity
- It admits 75% of applicants, and 76% of first-time, full-time students graduate within 150% of normal time. Colleges admitting 50–75% of applicants have a median graduation rate of 58%, so it graduates more students than its selectivity alone would suggest.
