Cost Overview

Families actually pay between $11,272 and $23,422 per year depending on income. Students from families earning under $30,000 get the best financial deal at just over $11,000 annually. Even families earning $75,000-$110,000 pay around $19,600 per year. Over four years, total costs range from roughly $45,000 to $94,000.

The typical graduate leaves with $21,500 in debt, translating to $228 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $60,236 ten years out, this debt burden stays manageable for most graduates. The 72.58% loan repayment rate suggests students can handle their obligations. Only 26.85% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating the school draws primarily middle-class families rather than the lowest-income students.

In-state students get the biggest advantage here since 96.89% of enrollment comes from New York, keeping tuition at just $8,815 compared to $18,725 for out-of-state residents.
