Cost Overview

Most families pay around $26,400 annually after aid, not the $46,800 sticker price. Net costs range from $21,900 for middle-income families earning $30,000-$48,000 to $29,100 for those making over $110,000. Over four years, expect to pay roughly $105,000 to $116,000 total.

Graduates leave with $20,800 in typical debt, requiring monthly payments of $221. That debt load stays manageable against median earnings of $63,100 ten years out. The 95.8% employment rate means most graduates find work quickly. Only 25% of students receive Pell grants, suggesting Northwood draws primarily middle and upper-middle class families.

Michigan residents get the best value here since 80% of students come from in-state and avoid premium out-of-state fees. Middle-income families earning $30,000-$48,000 also score the lowest net price at this business-focused university.
