Cost Overview

Most families pay around $20,739 annually after financial aid, though costs vary by income. Low-income families ($0-30K) pay about $19,752 per year, while middle-income families ($48-75K) face $22,838. Over four years, expect to invest roughly $83,000 total.

Nearly 60% of students take federal loans, graduating with a median debt of $21,534. That translates to monthly payments of $228, manageable against the typical graduate's $46,945 starting salary. The college serves a predominantly working adult population, with flexible scheduling that allows many students to earn while learning.

Working-class students get the strongest value proposition here. With 48% receiving Pell Grants and relatively low net prices for families under $30K, Calumet delivers affordable Catholic education to first-generation college students. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio ensures personal attention despite the modest price tag.
