Cost Overview
Families typically pay around $44,154 annually after aid, though costs vary by income. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay about $42,104, while those from families earning over $110,000 pay closer to $46,757. Over four years, expect total costs between $168,000 and $187,000.
Most students graduate with $27,000 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $286. Early career earnings average just $18,731 in the first year, making loan payments challenging initially. By year five, median earnings reach $34,273, or about $2,860 monthly before taxes. Only 25% of students receive institutional grants, averaging $25,460.
Lower-income students get the strongest value proposition here. The relatively flat pricing across income brackets means wealthy families pay nearly as much as middle-class ones, while students from families earning under $48,000 face the smallest financial burden relative to the school's specialized arts training.
