Cost Overview

Most Saint Joseph's families pay around $35,487 annually after aid, not the $68,130 sticker price. Lower-income families ($0-30K) pay about $30,742 per year, while wealthy families ($110K+) still pay $36,689. Over four years, expect to invest roughly $142,000 total.

The 10:1 student-faculty ratio and strong Jesuit academic reputation justify costs for many families. Graduates earn a median $86,881 ten years out, making the $25,500 typical debt load manageable. Monthly loan payments average $270, easily handled with strong post-graduation employment prospects. The 96.3% employment rate shows Saint Joe's delivers career outcomes.

Middle-class families get squeezed here with limited need-based aid. Only 18.15% receive Pell grants, and institutional aid reaches just 28.13% of students. The best deal goes to high-achieving students from lower-income backgrounds who qualify for the strongest financial aid packages.
