Cost context
Where Columbia International University sits on price and outcomes
At $26,036, Columbia International University's reported average net price is cheaper than 89% among 81 South Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,525.

- $7,796
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $21,955 for families reporting under $30,000 against $29,751 above $110,000, a difference of $7,796. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $26,036 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median earnings six years after entry ($33,929) are less than 1.3 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.
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.
