Cost Overview
Most families pay far less than Wheaton's $57,230 sticker price. The average net price drops to $26,984 after financial aid, and it gets even better for lower-income families. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $17,966, while those from families earning $30,000 to $48,000 pay $18,623. Even middle-class families earning $48,000 to $75,000 pay only $20,430. Over four years, that means a total cost of about $108,000 for most students instead of the full $229,000.
Graduates leave with a median debt of $23,250, which translates to monthly payments of $246. With median earnings of $63,756 ten years after graduation, that debt load stays manageable. The college gives institutional grants averaging $24,610 to about 25% of students. Lower-income students get the best financial deal here, paying less than many public universities while getting a private Christian education with small classes and strong career outcomes.
