Published undergraduate tuition $16,200
Finding Institute of Health Sciences charges 3% below the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $16,200. That is 3% below the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the Maryland median ($10,410), sticker tuition is 56% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 36% above.
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 private for-profit 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 Institute of Health Sciences versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Institute of Health Sciences is $22,656.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $22,656 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $12,101 above the Maryland median net price. Versus rural campuses, net price runs $3,956 above 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 Institute of Health Sciences, average net price exceeds published tuition alone because net price uses a fuller cost-of-attendance base.
