MDT College of Health Sciences tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $21,870
Finding MDT College of Health Sciences charges 31% above the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $21,870. That is 31% above the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the Illinois median ($13,248), sticker tuition is 65% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 1.8×.
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 MDT College of Health Sciences versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at MDT College of Health Sciences versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at MDT College of Health Sciences is $30,833.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $30,833 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $23,434 above the Illinois median net price. Versus urban (city) campuses, net price runs $10,780 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 MDT College of Health Sciences, average net price exceeds published tuition alone because net price uses a fuller cost-of-attendance base.
