Cost Overview
Students from families earning under $30,000 pay about $5,533 annually at MassBay, while those from households making over $110,000 face costs of $13,263. The average net price sits at $7,388 across all income levels. Over two years, total costs range from roughly $11,000 to $26,500 depending on family income.
Most graduates leave with manageable debt loads. The median debt of $6,500 translates to monthly payments of just $69, which is quite reasonable given that recent graduates earn a median of $42,083 in their first year after completion. The 90.3% employment rate means most students find work quickly. Only 13% of students need federal loans, and just 25% receive Pell Grants, suggesting many families can handle the costs without heavy borrowing.
Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying roughly half what wealthier families pay while accessing the same career-focused training that leads to solid job prospects.
