Barclay College tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $24,590
Finding Barclay College charges 16% below the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $24,590. That is 16% below the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Kansas median ($9,282), sticker tuition is about 2.6×. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 2.1×.
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 Barclay College versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at Barclay College versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Barclay College is $29,290.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $29,290 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $19,385 above the Kansas median net price.
Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
Interpretation Average net price is a stronger institutional cost signal than published tuition because it incorporates grant aid.
Limitation The campus average masks large differences by household income; income-band net prices can diverge sharply from the overall average.
Key takeaway At Barclay College, average net price exceeds published tuition alone because net price uses a fuller cost-of-attendance base.
