Cost Overview

Most families pay between $30,563 and $38,527 per year depending on income, despite the $30,548 sticker price. Lower-income families actually pay slightly more than the listed tuition due to fees and living costs. Over four years, expect to spend $122,000 to $154,000 total. Nearly half of students receive Pell Grants, indicating significant financial need on campus.

Graduates typically leave with $12,000 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $127. With median earnings of $42,187 ten years out, loan payments consume just 3.6% of income. The 73% loan repayment rate suggests most graduates can handle their debt load. Women make up nearly three-quarters of the student body at this design-focused institution.

The best deal goes to higher-income families who qualify for the most institutional aid, paying closer to the base tuition rate while lower-income students face the highest net costs.
