Cost Overview

Families actually pay between $5,716 and $9,712 annually depending on income, well below the $6,994 average net price. Over two years, total costs range from $11,432 to $19,424. Students earning under $30,000 get the best financial deal at just $5,716 per year. Only 15% of students take federal loans.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $13,255, translating to monthly payments of $141. Those payments represent less than 5% of typical graduate earnings of $36,035 after ten years. The 94% employment rate means most students can handle this debt load. Nearly all students qualify for in-state rates since 99% come from Maine.

Low-income students get the strongest value proposition here. The combination of minimal debt, strong job placement, and affordable net prices makes this particularly attractive for families earning under $48,000 annually.
