Cost Overview
Despite a sticker price exceeding $85,000, most Pitzer families pay far less thanks to the college's progressive financial aid philosophy. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $9,284 annually, while those from $110,000+ households face $49,894. The four-year total ranges from $37,000 to nearly $200,000 depending on family income.
Only 22% of students take federal loans, graduating with a median debt of $16,750. Monthly payments average $178, manageable against the $51,190 median salary five years post-graduation. The loan repayment rate of 84% suggests graduates can handle their obligations. With 94% of students returning sophomore year and 84% finishing in four years, most complete their degrees on schedule.
Low-income students get the best deal here. Pitzer's commitment to accessible progressive education means families earning under $48,000 pay less than many state schools while getting small classes with a 10:1 student-faculty ratio.
