Auburn University at Montgomery tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $9,700
Finding Auburn University at Montgomery charges about 1.8× the national public median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $9,700. That is about 1.8× the national public median ($5,512). Versus the Alabama median ($10,024), sticker tuition is 3% below. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 18% below.
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 public 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 Auburn University at Montgomery versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at Auburn University at Montgomery versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Auburn University at Montgomery is $13,224.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $13,224 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $2,503 above the Alabama median net price. Versus suburban campuses, net price runs $4,824 below 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 Auburn University at Montgomery, average net price exceeds published tuition alone because net price uses a fuller cost-of-attendance base.
