Cost Overview

Most families pay around $18,305 annually after aid, though costs vary by income. Lower-income students ($0-30K) pay $17,901 per year, while those from families earning $75-110K pay $22,029. Over four years, expect total costs between $71,600 and $88,116.

Only 36.57% of students receive financial aid, and institutional grants are nearly nonexistent at just 0.05% of students receiving an average $6,637. Federal loans are common, with 45.59% of students borrowing. Typical debt loads result in $159 monthly payments after graduation. With median earnings of $42,189 ten years out, loan payments consume about 4.5% of monthly income.

Working adults with some financial stability get the best deal here. The quarter system and online format cater to busy schedules, but limited aid options make this expensive for traditional college-age students without existing income.
