Cost Overview

Most families pay around $38,000 annually after aid, far below the $52,075 sticker price. Net costs vary dramatically by income, from $42,000 for families earning under $30,000 to about $33,000 for those making over $75,000. Over four years, expect to spend roughly $152,000 total.

Nearly three-quarters of students take federal loans. Graduates carry a median debt of $27,000, translating to $286 monthly payments after graduation. With median earnings of $34,368 ten years out, loan payments consume about 10% of typical graduate income. Only half of borrowers stay current on repayments. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio means intensive instruction, but the 44% six-year graduation rate suggests many students struggle to finish.

Upper-middle-class families get the sweetest deal here, paying $20,000 less annually than low-income students despite having more resources.
