Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay just $6,798 annually at UW-La Crosse, while those making over $110,000 face the full $17,538 net price. The four-year total ranges from $27,192 for low-income students to $70,152 for wealthy families. Most Wisconsin residents get a solid deal since 80% of students come from in-state and pay roughly half what out-of-state students face.

Graduates carry a manageable $22,500 in median debt, translating to $239 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $60,378 ten years out, that debt load represents reasonable leverage for a degree. The 98% employment rate shows strong job market outcomes. Low-income Wisconsin residents get the best value here, attending a respected public university for community college prices while still accessing UW-La Crosse's well-known exercise science and health programs.
