Finding Bryant & Stratton College-Albany charges 37% below the national private non-profit median tuition.

What is Bryant & Stratton College-Albany's tuition?

How much does Bryant & Stratton College-Albany cost?
Reported tuition is $18,374 and average net price is $12,443 in the latest College Scorecard data. On-campus room and board is estimated at $3,500 annually.
Why is Bryant & Stratton College-Albany's net price so much lower than tuition?
At Bryant & Stratton College-Albany, published tuition is $18,374 while average net price is $12,443—about 32% 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 Bryant & Stratton College-Albany's return on investment in EDsmart Data?
EDsmart Data models ROI using campus average net price ($12,443), completion (28.6% within 150% of normal time where reported), and median earnings ten years after entry ($32,568). High completion and strong mid-career earnings relative to net cost raise modeled ROI; the estimate is institution-wide and not program-specific. Debt-to-earnings ratios, when available, further contextualize borrowing pressure. Limitations include suppressed fields, program mix, and labor-market variation over time.
