Cost Overview

Most Wheaton families pay around $31,000 annually after aid, far below the $78,450 sticker price. Costs vary dramatically by income: families earning under $30,000 pay just $19,884 per year, while those making over $110,000 pay $35,859. Over four years, expect to spend $124,000 to $143,000 depending on your family's finances.

The typical graduate leaves with $26,000 in debt, translating to $276 monthly payments. That's manageable given the median starting salary of $33,840, though earnings jump to $67,725 after a decade. The college's generous aid reaches 28% of students with an average grant of $41,665. Only 20% of students qualify for Pell Grants, reflecting the school's affluent student body.

Lower-income families get the best financial deal here, paying roughly one-third what wealthy families contribute for the same liberal arts education.
