Cost

Cost after financial aid
The average net price — what students actually pay after grants and scholarships — is $17,433 per year for first-time, full-time students receiving Title IV aid.
| Family income | Average net price |
|---|---|
| Under $30,000 | $13,402 |
| $30,001–48,000 | $13,511 |
| $48,001–75,000 | $15,838 |
| $75,001–110,000 | $20,735 |
| Over $110,000 | $22,467 |
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 722 first-time, full-time students in the 150% cohort, 44% 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.
