Cost Overview
Most families pay around $3,800 annually after financial aid, making this one of Chicago's most affordable college options. Net costs range from $3,271 for families earning under $30,000 to $10,722 for those making over $110,000. Two years would cost between $6,542 and $21,444 total.
Graduates leave with just $6,997 in median debt. Monthly loan payments average only $74, which represents less than 3% of typical graduate earnings of $36,484 after ten years. The low federal loan rate of 1.17% means most students avoid borrowing entirely. Only about 10% receive institutional grants, but the base tuition stays manageable for working families.
Low-income students get the strongest value here. They pay roughly half what middle-class families spend, and the college serves as an affordable pathway to four-year universities or direct workforce entry in Chicago's job market.
