Cost Overview

Families at Clark typically pay $27,711 after aid, far below the $67,750 sticker price. Low-income students (under $30K) pay just $16,629, while wealthy families ($110K+) pay $38,832. Over four years, most students face around $111,000 in actual costs. The small liberal arts environment justifies higher expenses through intensive mentoring and research opportunities.

Graduates leave with $26,759 in median debt, translating to $284 monthly payments. Within ten years, alumni earn a median $62,381, making loan payments manageable at roughly 5% of income. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio means personalized attention that research universities can't match. Psychology majors and aspiring researchers get strong value here, following in the footsteps of DNA pioneer James Watson. First-generation college students benefit most, with 21% receiving Pell Grants and generous institutional aid bringing costs down to community college levels.
