Published undergraduate tuition $20,180
Finding Saint Elizabeth College of Nursing charges 33% below the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $20,180. That is 33% below the national private non-profit median ($30,216). Versus the New York median ($14,000), sticker tuition is 44% above. Versus the U.S. median ($12,200), sticker is 65% 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 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.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Saint Elizabeth College of Nursing is $22,335.

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.
