St. Francis College tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $28,775
Finding St. Francis College charges 2% below the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $28,775. That is 2% below the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the New York median ($13,810), sticker tuition is about 2.1×. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 2.4×.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.
Interpretation Published tuition measures sticker price relative to private non-profit and geographic peers; it does not equal what undergraduates typically pay after aid.
Limitation Sticker comparisons omit room, board, and institutional aid; average net price and income-band net prices are the stronger signals of typical family cost.
Evidence: published tuition at St. Francis College versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at St. Francis College is $18,129.

Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is St. Francis College located?
St. Francis College is located in Brooklyn, NY.
What is St. Francis College's tuition?
St. Francis College tuition (published undergraduate sticker price) is $28,775 in the latest College Scorecard data. Average net price after grant aid is $18,129 for undergraduates receiving Title IV aid.
How much does St. Francis College cost?
Reported tuition is $28,775 and average net price is $18,129 in the latest College Scorecard data. On-campus room and board is estimated at $18,000 annually.
Why is St. Francis College's net price so much lower than tuition?
At St. Francis College, published tuition is $28,775 while average net price is $18,129—about 37% lower. Average net price subtracts grant and scholarship aid from cost of attendance for undergraduates receiving Title IV aid (College Scorecard). Institutional aid therefore compresses sticker price into a lower typical undergraduate cost signal. The campus average still masks large differences by household income; income-band net prices can diverge sharply from the overall average. EDsmart Data treats the sticker–net gap as an analytical finding, not advice about individual aid offers.
What explains St. Francis College's return on investment in EDsmart Data?
EDsmart Data models ROI using campus average net price ($18,129), completion (54.6% within 150% of normal time where reported), and median earnings ten years after entry ($58,099). High completion and strong mid-career earnings relative to net cost raise modeled ROI; the estimate is institution-wide and not program-specific. Debt-to-earnings ratios, when available, further contextualize borrowing pressure. Limitations include suppressed fields, program mix, and labor-market variation over time.
