Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $29,100 sticker price at this Wesleyan college in rural New York. The average net price is $21,148, though costs vary dramatically by income. Families earning under $30,000 pay just $17,213, while those making over $110,000 pay $25,436. Over four years, that's between $69,000 and $102,000 total.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $25,250, resulting in monthly payments of $268. That's manageable against the $46,721 median earnings ten years out, though recent graduates earning $27,345 might struggle initially. Only 24% of students receive institutional grants averaging $6,846, while 34% qualify for Pell Grants.

Low-income families get the best deal here, paying roughly the same whether they earn $20,000 or $40,000 annually. The Christian mission keeps aid focused on need over merit.
