Le Moyne College tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $40,330
Finding Le Moyne College charges 38% above the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $40,330. That is 38% above the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the New York median ($13,810), sticker tuition is about 2.9×. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 3.4×.
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 non-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 Le Moyne College versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at Le Moyne College versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Le Moyne College is $22,277.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $22,277 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $12,904 above the New York median net price. Versus rural campuses, net price runs $3,577 above the locale median.
Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.

How much does Le Moyne College cost?
Reported tuition is $40,330 and average net price is $22,277 in the latest College Scorecard data. On-campus room and board is estimated at $16,210 annually.
Why is Le Moyne College's net price so much lower than tuition?
At Le Moyne College, published tuition is $40,330 while average net price is $22,277—about 45% 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 Le Moyne College's return on investment in EDsmart Data?
EDsmart Data models ROI using campus average net price ($22,277), completion (73.1% within 150% of normal time where reported), and median earnings ten years after entry ($62,731). High completion and strong mid-career earnings relative to net cost raise modeled ROI; the estimate is institution-wide and not program-specific.
