Cost Overview
Most families pay far less than the $22,020 sticker price at this historically black university. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay around $10,536 annually, while those from middle-income families ($30,000-$75,000) get the best deal at under $9,000 per year. Over four years, that's roughly $36,000 total for middle-income students.
The 6-year graduation rate sits at just 16.20%, making degree completion a significant challenge. Graduates who do finish typically owe $21,785 in debt, translating to $231 monthly payments. With median earnings of $37,837 ten years after enrollment, loan payments consume about 7% of income. Only 22.78% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. Middle-income families get the strongest value proposition here, paying less than $9,000 annually while accessing America's oldest HBCU's legacy and tight-knit community of 721 students.
