Cost Overview
Families earning under $30,000 pay just $3,295 annually at Duke, while those making over $110,000 face $54,375 per year. The four-year total ranges from $13,180 to $217,500 depending on family income. Duke's financial aid cuts the $84,865 sticker price dramatically for most students.
Graduates carry a median debt of only $13,000, translating to monthly payments of $138. That debt load looks manageable against median earnings of $97,800 ten years after graduation. The 88.88% loan repayment rate reflects Duke's strong career outcomes. Only 16.31% of students need federal loans, and 96.16% return for sophomore year.
Middle-income families between $30,000-$48,000 get the sweetest deal, paying just $242 annually. Duke reserves its steepest discounts for families who need them most, making this top education surprisingly accessible despite its strong reputation.
