Cost context
Where Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Mont Alto sits on price and outcomes
At $19,454, Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Mont Alto's reported average net price is cheaper than 45% among 261 Pennsylvania colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,954.
- $19,454
- average net price
- $19,954
- Pennsylvania median
- 2.2×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $8,198
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $15,811 for families reporting under $30,000 against $24,009 above $110,000, a difference of $8,198. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $19,454 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $55,620, roughly 2.9 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
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.
