Cost Overview
Families at Palm Beach Atlantic pay between $26,918 and $39,730 annually depending on income, well below the $51,786 sticker price. The lowest-income families get the biggest break at $28,191 per year. Over four years, expect to pay between $107,672 and $158,920 for this Christian education.
Graduates leave with $22,500 in median debt, translating to $239 monthly payments. That's manageable against median earnings of $49,232 after ten years, though the 57% loan repayment rate suggests some struggle. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio and faith-integrated programs justify costs for many families. Only 25% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating this university serves predominantly middle and upper-middle class families.
The best deal goes to families earning under $48,000, who pay roughly half the full price while accessing the same small classes and Christian community that define this West Palm Beach campus.
