Cost Overview

Most families pay around $21,315 annually after financial aid, far below the $47,760 sticker price. Low-income families (under $30K) pay just $14,218 per year, while wealthy families ($110K+) still get discounts down to $26,682. Over four years, expect total costs between $57,000 and $107,000 depending on family income.

Recent graduates leave with $26,000 in median debt, translating to $276 monthly payments. With median earnings of $54,664 ten years out, that's a manageable debt load for most careers. The 73% loan repayment rate suggests graduates can handle their obligations. Only 25% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating the college serves middle-class families more than low-income students.

Middle-income families get the sweetest deal here. They avoid the full freight wealthy families pay while earning too much for maximum need-based aid that benefits the poorest students.
