Cost Overview

The average family pays $8,916 annually after financial aid at UIS, making it one of Illinois' more affordable state universities. Low-income families with earnings under $30,000 pay just $4,473 per year, while higher earners at $110,000+ still pay only $15,232. Over four years, total costs range from about $18,000 to $61,000 depending on family income.

Most graduates leave with $19,128 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $203. With median earnings hitting $57,103 ten years after graduation, that debt payment represents less than 5% of monthly income for most alumni. The university's strong connections to Illinois state government help explain the 95.2% employment rate among graduates.

In-state students get the best deal here. At 92.6% of enrollment, they dominate the campus and benefit from Illinois taxpayer subsidies that keep costs reasonable for middle-class families.
