Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than Saint Joseph's $59,000 sticker price. The average net cost drops to $24,666 after aid. Low-income families earning under $30,000 pay just $22,105 annually, while those making over $110,000 still pay $38,452. Over four years, that ranges from $88,420 to $153,808 depending on family income.

Graduates typically leave with $27,000 in debt, translating to $286 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $59,045 ten years out, that's a manageable 5.8% of gross income. The 73% loan repayment rate suggests most handle the payments fine. Saint Joseph's keeps costs reasonable through its Catholic mission and rural Maine location. Families earning under $75,000 get the best deal here, paying roughly half the published price while accessing the college's strong nursing and education programs.
