Cost Overview

Most families pay around $35,000 annually at Seattle University, well below the $54,285 sticker price. Net costs range from $23,374 for families earning under $30,000 to $43,000 for those making over $110,000. The Jesuit university's generous aid brings four-year costs to roughly $140,000 for middle-income families. Graduates typically earn $75,272 ten years out, making the investment worthwhile for most.

Student debt averages $19,883, translating to monthly payments of $211. That represents just 3% of typical graduate earnings, a manageable burden. The school awards institutional grants averaging $30,917 to nearly a quarter of students. Seattle's booming tech and healthcare job markets help explain the strong post-graduation earning potential.

Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying roughly one-third of what wealthy families pay. The combination of Jesuit values and Seattle's economic opportunities creates solid value for families seeking urban Catholic education.
