Cost Overview

Most families at Texas State pay far less than the $24,460 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $12,144 per year, while those from families earning over $110,000 pay $23,150. That means a four-year degree costs between $48,576 and $92,600 depending on your family's income. The 97% in-state student body helps keep costs reasonable since Texas residents save about $12,000 annually compared to out-of-state tuition.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $21,000, which translates to $223 monthly payments. With median earnings of $56,906 ten years after graduation, that monthly payment represents about 5% of gross income. The 42% of students who take federal loans get a decent return on investment. Students from working-class families get the best deal here, paying roughly half what wealthier families pay while accessing the same degree and job prospects.
