Cost Overview

Most families pay around $33,011 annually after financial aid, despite the $50,374 sticker price. Low-income students with family earnings under $30,000 pay just $26,746 per year, while wealthy families earning over $110,000 still pay $37,419. Over four years, expect to spend between $107,000 and $150,000 depending on your family's financial situation.

Graduates carry a median debt of $27,000, translating to $286 monthly loan payments. With median earnings of $51,819 ten years after graduation, loan payments consume about 7% of income. The 32% of students receiving institutional grants average $25,221 in aid, making this Presbyterian-affiliated liberal arts college more affordable than the hefty price tag suggests.

Students from lower-income families get the strongest value here, paying roughly half what wealthy families contribute while accessing the same marine science programs and waterfront campus experience.
