Cost Overview

Despite a sticker price exceeding $63,000, most families pay far less at this women-focused Boston university. Net costs range from under $20,000 for families earning below $30,000 to nearly $34,000 for those making six figures. Over four years, total expenses span $78,000 to $135,000 depending on family income.

Nearly 64% of graduates carry federal loans, with typical debt of $24,840. Monthly payments average $263, which feels manageable against median starting salaries of $56,491. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio and specialized programs in nursing, social work, and library science help justify costs. Employment rates hit 95.7% within six months of graduation.

Lower-income students get the best financial deal here. Families earning under $48,000 pay roughly the same net price as community college, while accessing Boston's internship market and Simmons' strong alumni network in healthcare and education.
