Net price reflects the true cost to attend after grant and scholarship aid is 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) | $8,134.00 |
| Average net price (off-campus) | $9,082.00 |
The real cost varies by income because need-based aid scales with financial need. Here is the average net price for each family-income range:
| Family income | Average net price |
|---|---|
| Under $30,000 | $5,216.00 |
| $30,000 to $48,000 | $6,260.00 |
| $48,001 to $75,000 | $11,061.00 |
| $75,001 to $110,000 | $13,497.00 |
| Over $110,000 | $14,863.00 |
