Cost Overview

Most families pay around $12,300 annually after aid, though costs vary by income. Families earning under $30,000 pay about $13,300 per year, while those making $30,000-$48,000 get the best deal at $10,300 annually. Higher earners face $12,700 yearly. Over four years, total costs range from $41,200 to $53,200.

The specialized arts focus means just 20% of students receive federal aid. With an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, the college provides intensive mentorship in Native American artistic traditions. Graduates earn $24,500 ten years out, reflecting the school's cultural mission over commercial outcomes. Only 41% successfully repay loans, suggesting financial challenges post-graduation. The 84% employment rate shows strong job placement despite modest earnings.

Middle-income families between $30,000-$48,000 get the best financial deal here, paying nearly $3,000 less annually than other income brackets while accessing the same specialized cultural arts education.
