Cost context
Where University of South Carolina-Lancaster sits on price and outcomes
At $9,801, University of South Carolina-Lancaster's reported average net price is cheaper than 19% among 81 South Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,525.

- average net price

- South Carolina median
- 3.7×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,578
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $6,306, while those above $110,000 record $13,884 - roughly 2.2 times as much. A published average of $9,801 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $35,206, roughly 3.6 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. Only 27% 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.
