Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $23,390 sticker price at UCCS. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $11,562 annually after aid, while those from households making over $110,000 pay $21,830. The average net price sits at $16,431 per year. Over four years, total costs range from $46,248 for low-income students to $87,320 for wealthy families.

Students graduate with a median debt of $20,000, translating to monthly payments of $212. That's manageable against median earnings of $54,659 ten years after graduation. The 63% loan repayment rate suggests most graduates handle their debt successfully. Only 35% of students take federal loans, indicating many families can cover costs without heavy borrowing.

In-state students get the strongest value here. With 87% of enrollment from Colorado, residents benefit from the $9,712 tuition rate that keeps total costs reasonable even without substantial aid.
