Cheapest Statistics Colleges

Ranked by lowest net price after financial aid. See our methodology.

Statistics graduates from the most affordable programs earn between $40,467 and $49,962, yet net prices span from just $2,446 at CUNY Hunter College to $9,962 at Eastern Kentucky University. The Northeast corridor presents an interesting paradox for budget-conscious students. While New York's CUNY system offers the lowest net costs, the region also hosts major financial firms, healthcare research centers, and government agencies that actively recruit statisticians. CUNY Baruch College graduates face a net cost of only $2,978 while maintaining a 72.10% graduation rate, making it particularly attractive for students planning careers in financial analytics. Meanwhile, University of Florida provides strong value at $6,351 net cost with earnings potential of $47,729 and a 91.50% graduation rate. The data reveals significant cost variations even within state systems, as California State schools range from $5,646 to $8,931 in net price despite similar tuition structures.
