Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $20,313 sticker price at Kennesaw State. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $13,754 after aid, while those from families making over $110,000 pay the full $20,512. Over four years, that ranges from about $55,000 to $82,000 total. The typical graduate leaves with $23,833 in debt, which translates to $253 monthly payments.

Those payments become manageable quickly since graduates earn a median of $48,335 right after college and $57,552 ten years later. Only 35% of students take federal loans, which keeps debt levels reasonable for a large public university. Georgia residents get the best deal here since 95% of students are in-state and pay just $5,786 in tuition. The school gives institutional grants averaging $6,363 to only 17% of students, so most families rely on federal aid and the low in-state tuition to keep costs down.
