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) | $3,242.00 |
| Average net price (off-campus) | $2,919.00 |
Net price is not the same for every family — it falls as financial need rises and grant aid increases. The breakdown below splits average net price across income brackets:
| Family income | Average net price |
|---|---|
| Under $30,000 | $1,923.00 |
| $30,000 to $48,000 | $2,585.00 |
| $48,001 to $75,000 | $4,391.00 |
| $75,001 to $110,000 | $7,560.00 |
