Cost Overview
Families earning under $30,000 pay just $7,037 annually at Coastal Alabama, while those making over $110,000 pay $12,983. The net price stays remarkably flat across middle-income brackets, hovering around $8,500 to $11,500. A two-year associate degree costs between $14,000 and $26,000 total, depending on family income.
Only 31% of students take federal loans, keeping debt manageable at a median of $11,000. Graduates face monthly payments of $117, which represents less than 4% of their typical $34,894 earnings a decade later. The 34% loan repayment rate suggests some struggle, but the low debt burden helps. Over 90% of students come from Alabama, taking advantage of the $4,980 in-state tuition that beats most alternatives.
Low-income students get the strongest value here. They pay roughly half what wealthier families do while accessing the same career training and transfer opportunities that lead to solid employment prospects.
