College Factual did not have enough data to determine a value ranking for SFCM this year.
Averaged across all students — those who receive aid and those who pay full price — a year at SFCM costs about $42,607. Over a standard four-year bachelor's program, that adds up to an estimated $170,428 for the degree.

| Sticker Price (before aid) | $79,798 / year |
| Net Price (students receiving aid) | $42,607 / year |

*The average cost weights the net price paid by aid recipients against the sticker price paid by everyone else. The 4-year figure assumes the standard bachelor's length; your actual time to graduate and price may differ.
