Cost Overview
Most families pay far less than Bethany's $48,452 sticker price thanks to substantial financial aid. The average net price drops to $15,306 annually, or about $61,200 over four years. Low-income families earning under $30,000 pay just $9,618 per year, while those making over $110,000 still get aid bringing costs down to $23,711. About 68% of students take federal loans to bridge the gap.
Typical graduates leave with $27,000 in debt, translating to $286 monthly payments for a decade. That's manageable given the median starting salary of $31,022, though the loan repayment rate of 53% suggests some struggle early on. The best deal goes to low-income students, who can attend this small liberal arts college for less than many public universities while getting the benefits of a 12:1 student-faculty ratio and tight-knit community of just 642 students.
