Cost Overview

Families earning less than $30,000 pay just $14,122 annually after aid, while those making over $110,000 pay $26,993. The average student pays $20,605 per year, bringing a four-year degree to roughly $82,420. UMass Dartmouth keeps costs reasonable for a public university, especially for Massachusetts residents who make up 90% of students.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $25,000, translating to monthly payments around $265. With median earnings hitting $68,804 ten years after graduation, most alumni can manage this debt load comfortably. The 95% acceptance rate means access isn't limited by academic barriers, making this a solid value for students seeking engineering or marine science programs without breaking the bank.

Lower-income families get the best financial deal here, paying less than half what wealthy families pay thanks to need-based aid.
