Finding Island Drafting and Technical Institute charges 15% above the national private for-profit median tuition.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Island Drafting and Technical Institute is $22,104.

Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
