Cost Overview

Most families pay around $41,358 per year after financial aid, making this one of the more expensive college options. The total four-year cost hits about $165,000, which reflects the specialized nature of interior design education and the Manhattan location. Costs vary by family income, from $36,808 for middle-class families earning $30,000 to $48,000, up to $44,480 for wealthy families making over $110,000.

Only 15% of students receive need-based aid, and just 21% take federal loans. Students who do borrow typically graduate with manageable debt since the small class sizes (10:1 ratio) mean more personal attention and higher completion rates. Graduates earn a median of $48,041 ten years out, which helps with loan payments. Students from middle-income families get the best financial deal here, paying about $7,000 less per year than wealthy families. The investment makes most sense for students certain about pursuing interior design careers.
