The net price figure shows the cost after grants and scholarships are deducted. This is the more honest cost figure for most families, since it accounts for institutional and federal aid.
| Average net price (on-campus) | $2,039.00 |
| Average net price (off-campus) | $2,895.00 |

|---|---|
| Under $30,000 | $1,360.00 |
| $30,000 to $48,000 | $1,477.00 |
| $48,001 to $75,000 | $5,267.00 |
| $75,001 to $110,000 | $8,346.00 |
