Cost Overview

Most families pay around $21,063 annually after aid, not the $54,726 sticker price. Low-income students with family earnings under $30,000 pay just $14,641 per year. Middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 face costs around $20,115. Higher earners making over $110,000 still pay only $28,795 annually. Over four years, expect to invest roughly $84,000 to $115,000 depending on your family's income.

Graduates typically owe $20,489 in loans, translating to $217 monthly payments. With median earnings reaching $61,462 ten years after graduation, loan payments represent about 4% of income. The 71% loan repayment rate suggests most alumni manage their debt successfully. Students from lower-income families get the strongest value proposition here, paying less than many state universities while accessing Elmhurst's small classes and personalized attention.
