Cost Overview

Most families pay around $25,000 annually after aid, far below the $39,400 sticker price. Low-income families with earnings under $30,000 pay just $16,761 per year, while wealthy families earning over $110,000 pay nearly the full $28,063. Over four years, total costs range from $67,000 to $112,000 depending on family income.

Graduates carry relatively light debt loads at $18,000 median, translating to $191 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $55,619 ten years out, loan payments consume just 4% of income. The 92% loan repayment rate reflects this manageable debt burden. Only 20% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a primarily middle and upper-middle class student body.

Families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 get the sweetest deal here, paying roughly half the published price while accessing the same rigorous Great Books education as full-pay students.
