Cost

Cost after financial aid
The average net price — what students actually pay after grants and scholarships — is $17,928 per year for first-time, full-time students receiving Title IV aid.
| Family income | Average net price |
|---|---|
| Under $30,000 | $5,021 |
| $30,001–48,000 | $6,773 |
| $48,001–75,000 | $10,202 |
| $75,001–110,000 | $16,222 |
| Over $110,000 | $24,344 |
Net price falls as family income falls because need-based aid rises. These are 2022-23 figures reported to IPEDS; use them to compare institutions, and use each college's own net price calculator for a personal estimate.
Outcomes
Of the 1,314 first-time, full-time students in the 150% cohort, 69% completed their programme within 150% of normal time. That cohort definition matters: part-time students and transfers are not included, so a college that serves many of them can have a low reported rate while still graduating most of its students.
