Cost Overview
Most families pay far less than the $55,250 sticker price at St. Thomas Aquinas. The average net price drops to $21,344 after aid. Low-income families pay just $13,977 per year, while those earning over $110,000 still pay only $25,598. Over four years, expect to spend between $56,000 and $102,000 depending on your family's income.
The college keeps debt reasonable for a private school. Graduates carry a median debt of $23,198, translating to monthly payments of $246. With median earnings hitting $62,909 ten years out, most graduates can manage these payments comfortably. The 66% loan repayment rate suggests some struggle, but earnings grow substantially over time from that $30,940 first-year figure.
Families earning under $75,000 get the best deal here. They pay roughly what they'd spend at many public colleges while getting the small class sizes and personal attention of a private Catholic institution.
