The federal net price bands show a spread of $8,729 between the lowest and highest bands. The lowest band averages $16,502, while the highest averages $25,231, with the middle bands at $13,561, $17,804, and $12,825.

For aid recipients, Quincy University has a published cost of attendance of $50,091 (an average across living arrangements), and the amount left after aid varies across family-income bands. Average net price, what aid recipients pay after grants and scholarships, is $16,502 for the lowest family-income band, $13,561 for the lower-middle band, $17,804 for the middle band, $12,825 for the upper-middle band, and $25,231 for the highest band.

The spread between the lowest and highest bands is $8,729. Azimuth places the affordability pillar in the 54th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Aid offsets $29,732 against the published cost for the average aid recipient, covering about 59% of that cost. Across all aid recipients, the average net price is $20,359, which is $1,988 below the peer median of $22,347 at comparable institutions (same type and size).

Published tuition and fees are $37,140. The lower average price relative to peers aligns with the affordability standing, though family-band averages differ.

Borrowing is common here, even though the median federal student loan debt at completion is below the comparable-institution figure. Among federal-loan borrowers who completed, median debt is $24,000, $1,000 below the peer median of $25,000 at comparable institutions (same type and size); 95.7% of aid recipients borrow federal loans.

That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $273 a month if repaid over ten years. Median Parent PLUS borrowing is $16,609.

Borrowing is widespread at Quincy University: 95.7% of federal aid recipients take federal loans, and borrowers who complete have median federal student loan debt of $24,000. The median is $1,000 below the $25,000 peer median for comparable institutions (same type and size).

For the separate parent-borrower population, median Parent PLUS borrowing is $16,609. In its 2025-26 Common Data Set, the university reported that 72% of graduates borrowed from any source, with average cumulative borrowing of $28,342 per borrower.

Of these graduates, 72% had federal loans averaging $28,342. Of these graduates, 14% had private loans averaging $33,483.

Quincy University’s investment picture is mixed: median earnings are near the middle of the national distribution, yet the model expects more from similar students. Graduates earn $59,724 four years after completion, in the 50th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Graduates earn about $4,401 less than the model expects for similar students. Earnings beyond expectations, the gap between what graduates earn and what the model expects for similar students, fall in the 38th percentile among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Program-mix scenarios place downside earnings at $49,706, typical earnings at $59,724, and upside earnings at $74,664. Median federal debt is $24,000, which is $1,000 below the $25,000 peer median at comparable institutions (same type and size).

That debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $273 a month if repaid over ten years. Below-peer debt and lower-than-expected earnings pull the return picture in different directions.

Among parent borrowers, median Parent PLUS borrowing is $16,609, separate from student federal loans. For student borrowers, that debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $273 a month if repaid over ten years.
