Cost Overview

Most families pay around $16,000 annually after financial aid, despite a sticker price of $33,220. The net cost varies dramatically by income, from $14,414 for families earning under $30,000 to $19,613 for those making over $110,000. Over four years, students typically pay between $58,000 and $78,000 total.

Nearly three-quarters of students take federal loans. Graduates leave with a median debt of $21,212, translating to monthly payments of $225. With median earnings of $47,361 ten years after graduation, loan payments consume about 6% of monthly income. The 58.79% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially after leaving.

Low-income students get the best deal here. Those from families earning under $48,000 pay roughly the same net price, around $15,000 annually. The university awards institutional grants averaging $29,753 to about 28% of students, making it surprisingly affordable for qualifying families.
