Eastern International College-Jersey City tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $18,383
Finding Eastern International College-Jersey City charges 10% above the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $18,383. That is 10% above the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the New Jersey median ($12,950), sticker tuition is 42% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 54% above.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.

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