Cost Overview
Families at Minot State pay far less than the $17,792 sticker price suggests. Low-income students (under $30,000) pay just $8,840 per year, while even high earners pay only $15,562. Over four years, costs range from about $35,000 to $62,000 total. The school charges the same $8,634 tuition whether you're from North Dakota or California, which makes it unusually affordable for out-of-state students compared to most public universities.
Graduates leave with a median debt of $19,609, translating to monthly payments around $208. With median earnings hitting $51,759 ten years after graduation, most can handle this debt load comfortably. Only 37% of students take federal loans, suggesting many families can afford the costs without heavy borrowing. The best deal goes to out-of-state students seeking an affordable four-year degree and low-income students who qualify for the rock-bottom net price.
