Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than Erskine's $51,360 sticker price. The average net cost is $22,018 after aid. Families earning under $30,000 pay about $21,857, while those making $30,000-$48,000 get the best deal at just $16,145. Higher earners pay $20,000-$25,000 annually. Over four years, expect to pay $88,000-$206,000 depending on your family's income.

About 72% of students take federal loans, graduating with a typical debt of $27,000. That translates to $286 monthly payments for a decade. With graduates earning a median $33,130 in their first year, loan payments consume roughly 10% of take-home pay. The 68% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially after leaving this small Presbyterian college.
