Families typically pay $19,880 per year after aid, though costs vary by income. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $16,521 annually, while those from households making over $110,000 pay $21,937. Over four years, expect to spend between $66,000 and $87,000 total. The university sits in Huntsville's thriving aerospace corridor, where NASA and defense contractors create strong job prospects.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $20,705, translating to monthly payments of $220. With median earnings of $61,767 ten years after graduation, loan payments consume just 4% of typical income. Engineering and computer science majors particularly benefit from the school's reputation with NASA and local tech companies. Only 22.5% of students receive need-based Pell grants, suggesting many families can afford the relatively modest costs. Students from lower-income families get the strongest financial support here.
