What would this cost you?

My family earns and I expect to take

Family income	Net price per year
Under $30k	$5,136
$30k to $48k	$7,640
$48k to $75k	$10,106
$75k to $110k	$14,753
$110k and up	$13,464
All families (average)	$9,873

Net price is the yearly cost after grants and scholarships, by family income (College Scorecard). It reflects students who received federal aid.

Program earnings vs a high-school graduate

Earnings are measured four years after completion when available. Where four-year earnings are suppressed, one-year earnings are shown and marked 1-year earnings. One-year and four-year figures reflect different career stages and should not be compared as if measured at the same time.

8 of 61 programs could be assessed 13% have an earnings verdict

Source: U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, release 2026-06-10. Earnings are medians measured four years after completion where available (programs shown with a 1-year figure are marked), compared with the state high-school-graduate benchmark ($32,204/yr). Debt is federal loans only. Suppressed values are shown as insufficient data, never imputed. Figures describe past graduates and are never a promise.
