Cost Overview
Most families pay around $6,000 annually at Northeast State, far below the $4,542 sticker price suggests. Low-income students (under $30K) pay $5,462 per year, while middle-class families ($48-75K income) face $7,478 annually. The highest earners oddly pay just $2,112, likely due to merit aid concentrations. Over two years, total costs range from $11,000 to $15,000 for most students.
Graduates carry a manageable $6,827 in debt, translating to $72 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $34,553 after ten years, loan payments represent roughly 2.5% of income. The 92.4% employment rate helps explain why 39% successfully repay loans. Nearly all students (99.4%) come from Tennessee, keeping costs predictable for state residents.
The best deal goes to high-income families who somehow secure significant aid, though low-income students also benefit from substantial federal support covering most expenses.
