Cost Overview

Families actually pay around $31,000 per year at National University, regardless of income level. Net costs stay remarkably flat, ranging from $30,678 for the lowest-income families to $32,956 for those earning over $110,000. Over four years, expect to pay roughly $124,000 total.

The university offers minimal institutional aid, with only 0.10% of students receiving grants averaging $5,932. About 23% of students take federal loans. Graduates carry a median debt of $25,000, translating to $265 monthly payments. With median earnings of $67,548 ten years out, loan payments consume less than 5% of typical graduate income.

National University operates on a non-traditional calendar system designed for working adults. Students who can pay close to full price upfront get the best financial deal here, since the school distributes very little of its own money in scholarships.
