The net price is the real out-of-pocket cost — what families pay after grant and scholarship aid is applied. For most students, this is the more useful number than published tuition because it reflects the real out-of-pocket cost.
| Average net price (on-campus) | $12,773.00 |
| Average net price (off-campus) | $12,347.00 |
The real cost varies by income because need-based aid scales with financial need. The table below shows the average net price by family-income bracket:
