Stonehill College tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $57,490
Finding Stonehill College charges about 2.0× the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $57,490. That is about 2.0× the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Massachusetts median ($34,256), sticker tuition is 68% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 4.8×.
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.

Finding Average net price at Stonehill College is $33,016.

How much does Stonehill College cost?
Reported tuition is $57,490 and average net price is $33,016 in the latest College Scorecard data. On-campus room and board is estimated at $16,120 annually.
Why is Stonehill College's net price so much lower than tuition?
At Stonehill College, published tuition is $57,490 while average net price is $33,016—about 43% 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 Stonehill College's return on investment in EDsmart Data?
EDsmart Data models ROI using campus average net price ($33,016), completion (76.0% within 150% of normal time where reported), and median earnings ten years after entry ($77,745). High completion and strong mid-career earnings relative to net cost raise modeled ROI; the estimate is institution-wide and not program-specific.
