Cost Overview
Most families pay between $8,200 and $17,000 annually depending on income, well below the $20,324 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 get the best deal at just $8,203 per year. Even higher-income families pay $17,032, still reasonable for a college education. A typical two-year degree costs $16,400 to $34,000 total.
Graduates carry a median debt of $11,365, translating to $120 monthly payments. With median earnings of $39,199 ten years out, loan payments consume about 3.6% of income. The 37% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle initially, though 91% find employment. Nearly 40% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating significant need among the rural upstate population.
The sweetest deal goes to low-income students who qualify for maximum financial aid. They get a college education for the price of room and board elsewhere.
