Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $19,728 out-of-state sticker price at this historically black university on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $10,634 annually after aid. The net price climbs to $14,886 for middle-income families ($48-75K) and reaches $22,204 for those earning over $110,000. Over four years, costs range from roughly $43,000 to $89,000 depending on family income.

Graduates typically leave with $27,000 in debt, translating to $286 monthly payments. With median earnings of $47,697 ten years out, loan payments consume about 7% of income. Only 27% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. The 52.6% of students receiving Pell Grants get the strongest value proposition, paying less than many community colleges while earning a four-year degree from an institution known for agriculture and marine science programs.
