Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $30,723 out-of-state sticker price at Southern Oregon University. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $13,402 after aid, while those from families earning over $110,000 pay $22,467. The average net price sits at $16,470 annually. Over four years, expect total costs around $66,000 to $90,000 depending on family income.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $20,332, translating to monthly payments of $216. With median earnings of $49,175 ten years after graduation, that debt load represents a manageable burden. The theater program draws students nationwide, but in-state residents get the strongest value proposition. Only 27% of students take federal loans, suggesting many families can manage costs without heavy borrowing. Low-income students benefit most from Southern Oregon's aid packaging.
