Cost Overview
Most families pay around $40,000 annually after aid, though costs vary by income level. Low-income students ($0-30K) pay $37,962 per year, while high earners ($110K+) pay $41,099. Over four years, expect total costs between $150,000-$165,000. The for-profit model means limited institutional aid, with only 4.79% receiving grants averaging $8,868.
Graduates typically carry $31,000 in debt, translating to $329 monthly payments. Early career earnings of $29,577 make loan repayment challenging, with only 35.88% successfully paying down their debt. Median earnings jump to $39,008 after ten years, but that's still modest for the investment. The 83.5% employment rate shows graduates find work, though not always well-paying positions.
Students from middle-income families ($30-48K) get the best financial deal at $37,492 annually. High earners pay the most despite having greater ability to absorb costs.
