Cost Overview
Most Belhaven families pay around $22,078 after aid, not the $39,245 sticker price. Low-income students (under $30K) pay just $16,855 annually, while wealthy families ($110K+) actually pay less than middle-class ones at $25,276. Over four years, expect to spend roughly $88,000 to $101,000 depending on your family's income.
The typical graduate leaves with $26,333 in debt, requiring monthly payments of $279. With median earnings of $46,440 ten years out, loan payments consume about 7% of gross income. Only 65% of students take federal loans, suggesting many families pay cash or rely on other funding sources. The 95% employment rate helps with repayment prospects.
Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying less than half of what middle-class families shoulder. The Presbyterian affiliation and strong arts programs justify the premium for families seeking a faith-based creative education.
