Cost Overview

Families earning under $75,000 typically pay around $23,000 annually at Clarke, despite the $51,760 sticker price. The net cost jumps to $26,435 for middle-class families earning $75,000-$110,000, then surprisingly drops to just $10,870 for the highest earners. Over four years, most students face total costs between $92,000 and $105,000.

Clarke graduates carry a median debt of $26,717, translating to $283 monthly payments. With median starting salaries around $44,247, new graduates dedicate roughly 8% of their gross income to loan payments. The 74.85% loan repayment rate suggests most handle this burden successfully. Just 23% of students receive institutional grants, but those who do get an average $24,047 discount.

Wealthy families scoring institutional aid get the sweetest deal here, while middle-class families without significant need-based help face the steepest relative costs.
