College Scorecard (most recent cohorts, release 2026-10-15), students who received federal (Title IV) aid. Bands with fewer than 30 students are greyed out because one or two students can move the average a lot. Counts: Scorecard fields NUM41–NUM45.

Why can a higher income band cost less here? Each band is a separate average for students who received federal aid and fall in that income group. Small groups and a different mix of grants in each group can make a higher band come out lower. These are the published figures, not adjusted.

International students: cost minus the school's own aid to internationals
We don't have verified data on this school's aid to international students, so we don't estimate it. Plan for the full cost of $47,942 a year and ask the financial aid office whether internationals can get need-based or merit aid.
International students can't receive U.S. federal aid (Pell, federal loans, work-study). Add health insurance and travel.

Net price, earnings and debt

Average net price per year: $13,249
Median earnings 10 years after entry: $63,846
Median federal debt at completion: $19,500

Four years at the average net price ($52,996) is about 0.83× one year of median earnings.

Earnings and debt cover only students who received federal aid (grants or loans), not every graduate, and include students who did not finish. They describe past students and do not show that a college causes higher or lower earnings: who enrolls, what they study and where they live after all matter. International students are generally not in these figures.
