Cost Overview

Most families pay between $6,873 and $9,039 annually depending on their income level. The lowest-income students get the best deal at $6,981 per year. Over two years, total costs range from $13,746 to $18,078. The published sticker price of $13,824 rarely reflects what students actually pay.

Graduates carry a median debt of $10,500 with monthly payments around $111. That payment represents about 4.5% of typical graduate earnings of $29,981 in the first year after graduation. Only 11.49% of students take federal loans, keeping most debt-free. The college awards institutional grants averaging $5,627 to 28% of students.

Low-income Missouri residents get the strongest value here. With 95% of students coming from in-state, the college clearly serves its local mission. Women make up nearly two-thirds of enrollment and benefit from the affordable pathway to career training.
