Cost Overview

Most Brooklyn College families pay far less than the posted tuition thanks to generous state aid. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $1,466 annually, while those from households making $75,000-$110,000 pay around $8,246. The average net price across all income levels is $2,943 per year. Over four years, total costs range from under $6,000 for the lowest-income students to roughly $12,000 for middle-class families.

Brooklyn College delivers strong value for CUNY's promise of affordable education. Graduates leave with a median debt of only $11,000, translating to monthly payments of $117. With median earnings hitting $60,752 ten years after graduation, loan payments represent less than 3% of typical graduate income. Nearly all students are New York residents who benefit from in-state pricing. Low-income students get the best deal here, often graduating debt-free while accessing the same rigorous liberal arts education as their higher-income peers.
