Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $19,261 sticker price at this historically Black university. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $10,558 annually after aid. Even middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay $14,740 per year. Over four years, total costs range from $42,232 to $58,960 depending on family income.

Two-thirds of students receive financial aid, keeping debt manageable for most graduates. Typical monthly loan payments hit $257 after graduation. With median earnings of $35,550 ten years out, graduates dedicate about 9% of their income to loan payments. The 95% employment rate helps explain why over a third successfully pay down their loans.

Low-income students get the strongest value here. Pell Grant recipients make up 67% of the student body and benefit most from the university's generous need-based aid packages.
