What the numbers say about Colorado State University Global

- Price against similar colleges
- The average net price of $17,732 a year is $9,014 above the median of $8,718 across 28 public colleges in Colorado.
- Price by family income
- Families earning up to $30,000 paid $16,683 a year after grants, and families earning over $110,000 paid $24,046, a difference of $7,363: the lowest-income families paid 69% of the top bracket's price.
- Debt against earnings
- Graduates who borrowed left with a median of $23,000 in federal loans, 28% of the $82,047 median salary of former students ten years after they started. On a standard 10-year plan that is about $261 a month, 4% of a typical monthly salary.
- Graduation against selectivity
- It admits 98% of applicants, and 26% of first-time, full-time students graduate within 150% of normal time. Colleges admitting 75–100% of applicants have a median graduation rate of 55%, so it graduates fewer students than its selectivity alone would suggest.
