The net price is the real out-of-pocket cost — what families pay after grant and scholarship aid is applied. This is the more honest cost figure for most families, since it accounts for institutional and federal aid.
| Average net price (on-campus) | $35,425.00 |
| Average net price (off-campus) | $29,461.00 |
Net price varies sharply by family income, dropping as need-based aid grows. The table below shows the average net price by family-income bracket:
| Family income | Average net price |
|---|---|
| Under $30,000 | $28,418.00 |
| $30,000 to $48,000 | $26,343.00 |
| $48,001 to $75,000 | $32,598.00 |
| $75,001 to $110,000 | $24,923.00 |
