How to read these numbers

Total Graduates counts the students who completed the Automobile/Automotive Mechanics Technology/Technician. credential during the 2024 academic year, not those currently enrolled or applied. Programs of this size can be excellent — often with closer faculty contact — but the small cohort means year-over-year completion counts can swing significantly. The $4,858 figure is the published annual tuition and required fees — what the school officially charges before financial aid. Most students pay less once federal Pell grants, state aid, and institutional scholarships are applied, so treat this as a starting point rather than an expected out-of-pocket cost. Because every accredited college reports the same fields to IPEDS each year, you can compare Patrick & Henry Community College's figures against similar programs at other schools on a like-for-like basis.
