Cost Overview
Most families pay around $21,000 annually at Piedmont, well below the $44,278 sticker price. Lower-income families get the best breaks, with those earning under $48,000 paying just $17,000-18,000 per year. Even families making $75,000-110,000 pay only $22,397 annually. Over four years, expect to spend $84,000-89,000 for most middle-class families.
Graduates leave with $25,000 in median debt, translating to $265 monthly payments. That's manageable against the $49,130 median salary Piedmont grads earn after 10 years. However, only 48% successfully repay their loans on schedule. The 97.6% employment rate sounds impressive, but starting salaries hover around $51,000.
Families earning under $75,000 get the sweetest deal here, often paying less than many state schools while accessing small classes with a 12:1 student-faculty ratio.
