Cost Overview

Most families pay around $23,901 annually after financial aid, not the $41,642 sticker price. The actual cost varies dramatically by income level. Families earning under $30,000 pay roughly $20,478 per year, while those making over $110,000 pay $29,036. Over four years, expect to spend between $82,000 and $116,000 depending on your family's financial situation.

Graduates carry a median debt of $23,577, translating to about $250 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $59,950 ten years after graduation, that debt load represents a manageable 5% of gross income. The university's 93.5% employment rate suggests most graduates find work quickly. Only 25% of students take federal loans, indicating many families can afford the costs without heavy borrowing.

Lower-income families get the best financial deal here, paying roughly half what wealthy families contribute.
