Logan University tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $9,000
Finding Logan University charges about 0.3× the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $9,000. That is about 0.3× the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Missouri median ($14,822), sticker tuition is 39% below. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 24% below.
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 Logan University versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at Logan University versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Logan University is $20,218.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $20,218 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $7,264 above the Missouri median net price. Versus rural campuses, net price runs $1,518 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 Logan University, average net price exceeds published tuition alone because net price uses a fuller cost-of-attendance base.
