Cost Overview

Moore families typically pay $43,369 per year after aid, bringing the four-year total to around $173,500. Lower-income families get meaningful breaks, with those earning under $30,000 paying $39,174 annually. The net price barely changes across higher income brackets, hovering around $46,000 whether families earn $75,000 or $150,000.

Graduates carry a manageable $26,000 in debt, translating to $276 monthly payments. This burden feels heavier given the reality of art careers. Median earnings hit just $22,194 in the first year after graduation, climbing to $37,839 after ten years. The loan repayment rate of 60.8% reflects these financial pressures. Only 24.9% of students receive institutional grants, averaging $26,476 for those who qualify.

Students from lower-income families get the strongest value proposition here, benefiting from federal aid that makes this historic women's art college surprisingly accessible despite its steep sticker price.
