Felbry College tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $29,731
Finding Felbry College charges about 1.8× the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $29,731. That is about 1.8× the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the Ohio median ($15,202), sticker tuition is about 2.0×. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 2.5×.
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 for-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 Felbry College versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at Felbry College versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Felbry College is $57,632.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $57,632 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $45,542 above the Ohio median net price. Versus urban (city) campuses, net price runs $37,579 above the locale median.
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 Felbry College, average net price exceeds published tuition alone because net price uses a fuller cost-of-attendance base.
