Cost context
Where Mount Marty University sits on price and outcomes
At $22,227, Mount Marty University's reported average net price is cheaper than 90% among 20 South Dakota colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,146.

- reported income-bracket spread
Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $19,564 and those above $110,000 report $23,601, a difference of just $4,037. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Six-year median earnings of $46,984 run about 2.1 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
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.
