Cost Overview

Syracuse families pay an average of $41,026 annually after aid, far below the $83,195 sticker price. Low-income students (under $30,000) pay just $21,505 per year, while wealthy families ($110,000+) pay $55,337. Over four years, most students face costs between $86,000 and $221,000 depending on family income. The 15,245 students here benefit from Syracuse's generous aid packages that cut costs dramatically for middle and lower-income families.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $26,000, creating monthly payments around $276. With median earnings hitting $79,164 ten years out, that debt load stays manageable for most Orange alumni. The strongest financial deal goes to middle-income families earning $30,000-$48,000, who pay only $16,002 annually. Syracuse's reputation in communications and journalism helps justify the investment for students targeting those competitive fields.
