Molloy University's published cost of attendance is $50,720, but need-based aid reshapes that figure meaningfully across income levels. Low-income families pay approximately $17,548 per year in net price, middle-income families see annual costs around $22,739, and higher-income families pay approximately $30,144. Azimuth ranks Molloy University #1124 for post-graduation affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. Net prices by income band are medians within those bands; individual aid packages vary, so some families in each band pay more and some less than the figures shown. Molloy University participates in federal, state, and institutional aid programs, and families apply for need-based aid using the FAFSA. The net price illusion is worth keeping in mind here: the published sticker price and the net price a family actually pays can differ substantially depending on household income and the depth of institutional grant support. For students entering health-focused programs — Molloy's dominant field — strong post-graduation earnings in nursing and allied health disciplines can improve the long-run picture even when upfront costs are meaningful. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $27,000, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $39,248; private or institutional loans may add further borrowing that falls outside these federal-only figures — see the Parent PLUS risk framework for how household context shapes PLUS decisions. For a graduate at the institution's median four-year earnings of $96,058, median federal debt of $27,000 projects to a monthly payment of about $305 under standard ten-year repayment.

How cost compares to graduate earnings and value added.
Graduates of Molloy University earn median earnings of $61,000 four years after enrollment, placing Molloy University in the 65th percentile for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. That figure sits below the $63,000 median at comparable institutions (same control and size band). Graduates earn below expectations, placing the institution in the 35th percentile for earnings beyond expectations among nonprofit four-year institutions. Those figures represent lifetime returns relative to New York's no-degree-equivalent earnings baseline of $31,000, the state median earnings of working adults aged 25 to 34 with only a high school credential. While institution-level earnings track New York's regional labor market, specific programs deliver materially stronger outcomes. Azimuth ranks Nursing nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning median earnings of $83,000 — 1.3x the national benchmark for the field. Health professions dominate Molloy University's degree output, with Nursing accounting for 42% of graduates and Business adding another 13%. Among the largest programs, Nursing program graduates 230 students annually with median earnings of $83,000, and Azimuth ranks it 50th nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks Business Administration 200th nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 80 graduates earning median earnings of $54,000. Accounting and Social Work round out the high-earning programs, with Azimuth ranking them 150th and 100th nationally among nonprofit four-year institutions, respectively, and graduates earning median earnings of $58,000 and $50,000.
