Cost Overview

Most families pay around $14,892 annually after financial aid, far below the $26,640 sticker price. Low-income families under $30,000 pay just $13,728 per year, while those earning over $110,000 pay $20,662. Over four years, costs range from $55,000 to $83,000 depending on family income.

Nearly 77% of students receive financial aid, with the typical graduate carrying $31,000 in debt. That translates to monthly payments of $329 after graduation. Graduates earn a median $38,518 ten years out, making those loan payments manageable but not insignificant. The 21% loan repayment rate suggests many students struggle with debt initially.

The best deal goes to low-income students who qualify for substantial federal aid. With three-quarters of students receiving Pell Grants, this Methodist HBCU clearly serves families who need affordable access to higher education.
