Electrical and Power Transmission Installers at Intellitec College-Colorado Springs
Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma
intellitec.eduAnalysis
Based on comparable electrical and power transmission programs in Colorado, this certificate appears to position graduates for strong first-year earnings around $70,780—nearly double the national median for similar programs. While both the earnings and debt figures are estimates derived from peer schools rather than Intellitec's actual graduate outcomes, the state-level picture is encouraging: Colorado's electrical installer programs cluster in the $49,000-$73,000 range, suggesting the skilled trades market here pays well above national averages.
The estimated debt load of roughly $11,000 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.16, meaning graduates would need less than two months of their first-year salary to cover their educational investment. That's favorable compared to many technical programs, though it's worth noting that the state median debt for similar Colorado programs sits even lower at $5,500. The discrepancy between Intellitec's estimated debt and the state benchmark warrants a direct conversation with the financial aid office about actual costs.
For parents considering this program, the fundamental question is whether Intellitec can deliver outcomes comparable to its Colorado peers. The state's electrical programs show consistent earning potential, but without school-specific data, you're making a bet on the strength of Colorado's construction and utilities market more than this particular institution's track record.
