Cost Overview

Most families pay between $3,791 and $5,822 annually depending on income level. Students from households earning under $30,000 get the lowest net price at $3,791 per year. Those from middle-income families making $48,000-$75,000 pay $5,822 annually. A two-year degree costs roughly $7,600-$11,600 total for most students.

Only 12.45% of students receive federal financial aid, suggesting many can afford the low sticker prices. Just 0.72% take out federal loans. Graduates who do borrow owe a median $16,500, creating monthly payments around $175. That payment represents less than 5% of the typical graduate's $38,550 median earnings. The 93.7% employment rate helps explain why nearly half of borrowers successfully repay their loans.

New Mexico residents get the best deal with in-state tuition at $1,372 compared to $2,644 for out-of-state students. Low-income families benefit most from the affordable net prices that barely crack $4,000 annually.
