Cost Overview

Most University of Louisville families pay far less than the $29,174 out-of-state sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $13,768 annually after aid. Those from middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay $16,510 per year. Over four years, that totals $55,000 to $66,000 for most students. The university keeps costs manageable through substantial in-state tuition at $12,828.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $20,500, translating to monthly payments of $217. That burden feels lighter against median earnings of $53,900 ten years after graduation. The 58.5% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with payments. Kentucky residents get the strongest value here, comprising 76% of students and paying roughly half what out-of-state students face. Low-income students benefit most from the university's need-based aid packages.
