Cost Estimator
Cost Overview
Students from households earning under $30,000 pay just $4,379 annually after aid. Even middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay $8,521 per year. Over two years, total costs range from under $9,000 for low-income students to about $17,000 for middle-income families. The debt burden stays manageable for most graduates. Typical borrowers leave with $9,250 in loans, translating to monthly payments of just $98. That's reasonable against median earnings of $34,583 in the first year after graduation. The college serves Buffalo's working-class community well, with 95% of students staying in-state and 93% finding employment after completing their programs. The best deal goes to low-income students, who get their associate degree for the cost of books and transportation while building job skills for Buffalo's healthcare, manufacturing, and service sectors.
