Below, the cost is projected across a degree for three students at once — low-income with aid, average aid, and no aid. The loan rows amortise the projected total over a ten-year, 6.8% repayment.

For the complete net-price picture, see the net-price section.
The net price figure shows the cost after grants and scholarships are deducted. 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) | $15,564.00 |
| Average net price (off-campus) | $14,487.00 |
Net price is not the same for every family — it falls as financial need rises and grant aid increases. Here is the average net price for each family-income range:
| Family income | Average net price |
|---|---|
| Under $30,000 | $9,531.00 |
| $30,000 to $48,000 | $10,224.00 |
| $48,001 to $75,000 | $12,374.00 |
| $75,001 to $110,000 | $16,389.00 |
| Over $110,000 | $20,042.00 |
