Cost Overview

Most families pay around $20,489 per year after aid at this small technical college. Low-income families ($0-30K) get the best deal at $19,409 annually, while higher earners ($75-110K) face $26,127. Over four years, expect to spend roughly $82,000 to $104,000 depending on family income.

The school keeps debt manageable with typical graduates owing $9,500. Monthly loan payments average just $101, which represents less than 3% of the $37,008 median salary graduates earn after ten years. Only 65% of students take federal loans, suggesting many can afford the program without heavy borrowing. About 29% receive institutional grants averaging $6,352, though 57% qualify for Pell grants.

Students from lower-income families get the strongest financial advantage here. The relatively small gap between aid packages means middle-class families won't pay dramatically more than their lower-income peers.
