Cost Overview

Families at Minnesota State University Moorhead pay between $12,969 and $21,573 annually depending on income, with the lowest earners getting the biggest break. The net price stays remarkably flat for families earning under $75,000, then jumps for higher incomes. Over four years, costs range from $52,000 to $86,000 total.

The 56% of students who borrow graduate with $20,000 in debt. That translates to $212 monthly payments, manageable against the $50,527 median earnings ten years out. The 66% loan repayment rate suggests most graduates handle their debt successfully. Only 13% receive institutional grants averaging $5,422, but the relatively low sticker price means less need for steep discounting.

Low-income Minnesota residents get the best deal here, paying roughly the same as middle-income families while accessing the same regional full education and strong job placement rate of 97%.
