Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $68,884 sticker price at this Jesuit university. The average net cost drops to $27,075 after financial aid kicks in. Lower-income families get the best breaks, with those earning under $30,000 paying just $20,869 annually. Even middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay only $22,950 per year. Over four years, that translates to roughly $108,000-$275,000 depending on family income.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $25,000, creating monthly payments around $265. That's manageable against the $70,783 median salary ten years after graduation. The 8:1 student-faculty ratio and strong Jesuit network help justify the investment. Students from Missouri families and those qualifying for need-based aid get the sweetest deals here, especially considering the university's reputation in pre-med, business, and aviation programs.
