How to Understand School Data

Costs

Average Annual Cost

The average total cost of attending school for the most recent year.

The "out of pocket" cost of attending school after the student has received any financial aid that does not need to be repaid (grants and scholarships). This figure is comprehensive and includes expenses such as:

  • In-State Tuition: $6,368
  • Out-of-State Tuition: $22,467
  • Books and Supplies: $1,200
  • Campus Housing: $11,498
  • Other Expenses: $4,970

As you can see, the average student who receives financial aid pays substantially less than the "sticker price."

Default Rate

The percentage of students who default on federal loans within three years.

Most federal student loans are in default if no payments have been made in 270 days. Default is a serious situation with substantial negative consequences for the borrower. A high default rate may indicate that students aren't earning enough to repay their loans or that schools are not educating students on loan repayment options (there are options to avoid default regardless of income). The national average default rate is approximately 7%.
