Published undergraduate tuition $17,492
Finding St Paul's School of Nursing-Staten Island charges 5% above the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $17,492. That is 5% above the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the New York median ($13,810), sticker tuition is 27% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 47% above.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.

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 St Paul's School of Nursing-Staten Island versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at St Paul's School of Nursing-Staten Island is $35,666.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $35,666 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $26,293 above the New York median net price. Versus urban (city) campuses, net price runs $15,613 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.
