How to read these numbers ▾

Tuition & fees: $8k in-state / $10k out-of-state; the rest is housing, food & books. All-in is what a family actually budgets.

Net price (tuition, fees & living costs minus grant aid) for federal-aid students, by family income band — a truer estimate of out-of-pocket cost than the sticker.

Cost of attendance & net price from federal college data (in-state / on-campus basis; out-of-state all-in is estimated as out-of-state tuition plus the same living costs). Individual aid varies. Program investment from EADA per-sport filings (coaching, travel, scholarships & ops) averaged across the track & field roster — heavier investment means more money in play, not a promised award.
