Finding Felician University charges 35% above the national private non-profit median tuition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Felician University located?
Felician University is located in Lodi, NJ.
What is Felician University's tuition?
Felician University tuition (published undergraduate sticker price) is $40,840 in the latest College Scorecard data. Average net price after grant aid is $10,378 for undergraduates receiving Title IV aid.
How much does Felician University cost?
Reported tuition is $40,840 and average net price is $10,378 in the latest College Scorecard data. On-campus room and board is estimated at $15,310 annually.
Why is Felician University's net price so much lower than tuition?
At Felician University, published tuition is $40,840 while average net price is $10,378—about 75% 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 Felician University's return on investment in EDsmart Data?
EDsmart Data models ROI using campus average net price ($10,378), completion (47.5% within 150% of normal time where reported), and median earnings ten years after entry ($64,432). 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.
