Niagara University Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

Going to college isn’t cheap, any way you look at it. But, if you look at the eventual return on investment (ROI) that you’re going to gain, you and your parents may be better able to handle the final cost. The total cost combines from tuition, books, supplies, room and board, lab fees, and other various charges. Altogether, that price is around $49,600 for most students.

You and your parents probably won’t need to pay every penny of that. Instead, financial aid may be able to pay for a large portion of your education, and whatever remains is called the average net price. As of a recent academic year, the average net price was $18,462. However, this will change based on your family’s income because that is how eligibility for financial aid is determined. In a recent academic year, families earning between $30,001 and $48,000 paid around $14,145. Families earning between $75,001 and $110,000 paid around $21,864. Other families falling into various income levels paid varying amounts based on the financial aid they were able to receive.

Almost every freshman student qualified for financial aid. As many as 99% received an average of $28,368 in grants and scholarships. The same percentage received about $24,999 in institutional grants and scholarships.

During your freshman year, you might end up asking yourself whether you’re going to stay at Niagara University or transfer to another college. If you do decide to stay, you’ll be included in the retention rate, which is the percentage of first-year students who return to the university for their second year of school. Here, the retention rate is 87%, which is excellent and indicates that nearly all students who attend this school think that their classes, teachers, and culture is good enough to warrant coming back for another year.

If you need to take an evening class or even access a class through online learning, your decision to stay might be even easier. If you find that one of your class times conflicts with another class or you are busy with work during one of those classes, rather than drop the class and hope you can pick it up in another semester, you can just pick up another section that offers either evening meeting times or an online option, which are both available for many classes.

The 4-year graduation rate is 66% and the 6-year rate is 73%, which are both at or above the national average. This may be due to the low student-to-faculty ratio of 11 to 1.

The most popular degree programs here are business, management, marketing and related support services; education and social sciences; health professions and related programs; and biological and biomedical sciences.
