BATON ROUGE, LA, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Georgetown University Ranks ITI Technical College #1 in Louisiana for Return on Investment
Baton Rouge institution also places among top associate degree colleges nationally in 2025 CEW analysis
ITI Technical College ranked first in Louisiana for return on investment at the 10-year mark, according to the 2025 Return on Investment rankings released by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW).
The CEW analysis evaluated more than 4,600 colleges and universities nationwide using data from the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard, measuring the long-term financial return students receive from their education. Statewide, ITI placed first at the 10-year mark and second at the 15-, 20-, 30-, and 40-year marks.
Among associate degree-granting institutions nationally, ITI ranked 13th at the 10-year mark, 15th at 15 years, 18th at 20 years, 21st at 30 years, and 22nd at 40 years.
The rankings draw on federal outcome data showing ITI graduates carry a median total debt of $15,006 and earn median annual earnings of $67,004, according to the College Scorecard. The figures place ITI graduates below national averages for student debt while reporting earnings that outpace many two-year programs.
“This study confirms what our graduates already know: when you invest in yourself here, the return isn’t just a paycheck — it’s a career you can build a life on. Doors open. Stability follows. And the impact doesn’t stop with you; it reaches the community you call home” said Michael Champagne, School Director of ITI Technical College.
Founded more than 50 years ago, ITI Technical College offers career-focused technical and associate degree programs built around hands-on training. The college develops its curricula with input from industry advisory committees and maintains relationships with employers across the Greater Baton Rouge region in fields including industrial, construction, and technology trades.
