10 Private Schools with Highest, Lowest Sticker Prices

The bad news is that sticker prices at private colleges and universities continue to climb.

The good news is that almost no one pays those jaw-dropping amounts.

In fact, nearly 90 percent of freshmen at private universities earned some institutional grant or scholarship aid in 2014-2015, according a study from the National Association of College and University Business Officers.

But while factoring in financial aid will give families a better sense of what they’ll actually pay for college, these sticker prices are too extreme to disregard.

On average, tuition and fees for private universities cost $32,599 in the 2015-2016 school year, according to data reported to U.S. News by 711 ranked private schools. That’s a 3.9 percent increase from last year’s average.

New York’s Vassar College charges $51,300, the most of any school reporting this year’s cost figures to U.S. News. Students paying full price at Sarah Lawrence, also in New York, will shell out $51,034 in tuition and fees this year, the second-highest of schools reporting.

Columbia University, which was the costliest among the 728 colleges and universities reporting data last year, declined to provide its cost figures to U.S. News in this year’s annual survey.
