Cost context
Where College of Southern Maryland sits on price and outcomes
At $9,204, College of Southern Maryland's reported average net price is cheaper than 10% among 67 Maryland colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,140.

- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $4,798, while those above $110,000 record $12,180 - roughly 2.5 times as much. A published average of $9,204 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $37,269 - about 4.0 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 33% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
