Over four years, that translates to roughly $36,000 to $61,000 total. The university keeps costs manageable through low tuition rates and modest room and board fees of $7,172.

Graduates typically leave with $19,174 in debt, resulting in monthly payments of $203. With median earnings of $42,620 ten years after graduation, loan payments consume about 6% of income. Only 35% of students need federal loans, and nearly half are successfully repaying their debt.
