Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay just $7,459 annually at SIUE, while those making over $110,000 face the full $20,503 net price. The school charges the same tuition for in-state and out-of-state students at $12,922, making it unusually affordable for non-residents. Over four years, costs range from roughly $30,000 to $82,000 depending on family income.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $20,500, translating to monthly payments of $217. With median earnings hitting $56,346 ten years after graduation, that debt load remains manageable for most career paths. The loan repayment rate of 58% suggests some graduates struggle, but starting salaries around $48,000 provide a decent foundation. Low-income families and out-of-state students hunting for affordable engineering or nursing programs get the strongest value here.
