Cost Overview

Most families pay around $24,000 annually at this specialized mortuary science college, with little variation across income levels. Low-income students ($0-30K) pay $23,614 while middle-income families ($30-48K) pay $24,548. Over two years, expect total costs around $48,000.

Only 4% of students receive institutional grants averaging $5,936. Nearly two-thirds take federal loans. Graduates leave with $15,024 in median debt, translating to $159 monthly payments. That debt load looks manageable against median starting salaries of $46,703 that climb to $61,574 after ten years in funeral service. The 61% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle initially.

In-state students get the best deal since tuition stays flat regardless of residency. Women, who make up 77% of enrollment, dominate this field that practically guarantees employment at 99%.
