Finding Beckfield College-Florence charges 20% below the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $13,295. That is 20% below the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the Kentucky median ($11,652), sticker tuition is 14% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 12% above.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Beckfield College-Florence is $28,133.

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