About this school

Eastern Iowa Community College District is a public trade and career college in Davenport, Iowa, accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Because it participates in Title IV, students here can use federal financial aid such as FAFSA and Pell Grants. Across its 29 program offerings, the campus's top completed programs are CNA classes, welding schools, and auto mechanic schools, reflecting a strong hands-on, trade-focused curriculum in a midsize city setting.

Federal data show a completion rate of 45.4%, which is below the Iowa state average of 63.6%. Graduates carry a median debt of $12,739, and median earnings ten years after entry are reported at $39,060. Cost of attendance is not reported for this campus in federal data. About 24.2% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a meaningful share of low-income enrollment among the 3,520 undergraduates and 468 trade completers tracked.

This campus may suit students seeking shorter, skills-based credentials in fields like CNA training, welding, or automotive repair rather than a traditional four-year path; the mix of program families suggests options for both quick-entry certificates and longer technical tracks, though exact program lengths are not reported here. Career changers considering this route should verify current accreditation status and detailed outcomes directly through the Higher Learning Commission and the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard before enrolling, since some figures such as cost of attendance are not available in this dataset.
