Why is Bryant & Stratton College-Wauwatosa's net price so much lower than tuition?
At Bryant & Stratton College-Wauwatosa, published tuition is $20,288 while average net price is $14,858—about 27% lower.

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.
