Cost Overview
Families at Eastern University pay between $23,000 and $33,000 annually depending on income, far below the $52,000 sticker price. Lower-income families see consistent net prices around $23,000 across the $0-75K range, while those earning over $110K pay about $33,000. Over four years, expect total costs between $92,000 and $132,000.
The typical graduate leaves with $25,000 in debt, translating to $265 monthly payments. With median earnings of $52,000 after ten years, graduates spend roughly 6% of their income on loan payments. Only 56% of borrowers stay current on payments, suggesting some financial stress post-graduation. The 94.5% employment rate provides reassurance about job prospects.
The best deal goes to middle-class families earning $30-75K, who qualify for substantial aid while avoiding the higher net prices that wealthier families face. Baptist heritage students often find additional institutional support through denominational connections.
