Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $48,421 sticker price at this engineering-focused institution. The average net price drops to $24,021 after aid, meaning a four-year degree costs around $96,000 for typical families. Low-income students (under $30K) pay just $14,869 annually, while wealthy families ($110K+) still get substantial breaks at $31,207 per year.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $27,000, translating to monthly payments of $286. That debt burden becomes manageable quickly since MSOE engineering graduates earn a median $73,300 in their first year out of college. The 97.7% employment rate means almost everyone finds work immediately. Students from lower-income backgrounds get the strongest deal here, with net prices under $15,000 making this specialized engineering education surprisingly affordable for families who need it most.
