Cost Overview

Families at University at Albany typically pay $18,486 per year after aid, not the sticker price. Low-income students ($0-30K) pay just $13,066 annually, while wealthy families ($110K+) pay $25,009. Over four years, that means costs range from $52,264 to $100,036 depending on family income. About 93% of students stay in-state, keeping costs lower than most flagship universities.

Graduates leave with $19,500 in debt on average, translating to $207 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $67,979 ten years out, those payments represent just 3.7% of monthly income. The 67% loan repayment rate shows most handle their debt successfully. Nearly half of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting the school's mission as an accessible SUNY option. Students from working-class families get the strongest value proposition, paying roughly half what wealthy families do while accessing the same degree programs.
