Cost

Cost after financial aid

| Family income | Average net price |
|---|---|
| Under $30,000 | $5,895 |
| $30,001–48,000 | $7,751 |
| $48,001–75,000 | $11,424 |
| $75,001–110,000 | $18,713 |
| Over $110,000 | $35,154 |
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 6,344 first-time, full-time students in the 150% cohort, 93% 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.
