Cost Overview

Most families pay around $23,719 annually after aid, not the $53,750 sticker price. Low-income families ($0-30K) pay about $19,447, while wealthy families ($110K+) pay $31,599. Over four years, expect to spend roughly $95,000 to $126,000 depending on your family's income.

Graduates typically carry $25,000 in debt, translating to $265 monthly payments. With median earnings of $36,260 ten years out, loan payments consume about 9% of gross income. The employment rate hits 92%, though starting salaries average just $22,535. Warren Wilson's work program helps offset costs through campus jobs, but the relatively low graduation rate of 44% means many students pay without finishing.

Families earning $48-75K get the sweetest deal at $15,474 annually. The work college model makes this place most appealing for middle-class families seeking hands-on learning without crushing debt.
