Cost Overview

Most families pay between $6,866 and $13,013 annually depending on income, well below the $4,720 sticker price once you factor in living costs. Students from families earning under $30,000 get the best deal at $6,866 per year. Over two years, expect to pay between $13,732 and $26,026 total. Only 10.84% of students receive federal financial aid, suggesting most families can handle costs without heavy borrowing.

Graduates typically leave with $12,000 in debt, translating to $127 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $44,593 in the first year after graduation, loan payments consume just 3.4% of monthly income. The school's 97.3% employment rate means students quickly move into Wisconsin's technical workforce. Nearly all students are Wisconsin residents who benefit from in-state pricing. Students from lower-income families get the most value here, paying roughly half what higher earners pay while accessing the same career-focused programs.
