Cost Overview

Most Columbia-Greene families pay far less than the $5,904 sticker price. Students from households earning under $30,000 pay just $3,565 annually after aid. Even families making $75,000-$110,000 pay $9,933 per year. Over two years, total costs range from $7,130 to $19,866 depending on family income. The college serves as an affordable stepping stone in the Hudson Valley's expensive housing market.

Graduates leave with manageable debt loads. Median debt sits at $12,000, creating monthly payments of just $127. That represents roughly 3.4% of the $44,441 median salary ten years after graduation. The 46.98% loan repayment rate reflects the region's economic challenges, but low debt keeps payments affordable. Only 15% of students receive institutional grants averaging $5,822. Local students get the best deal since 99.28% come from New York state and avoid the higher out-of-state tuition.
