A parent's read

  • The major moves the money more than the admit letter. Computer Engineering grads from here earn about $112,543 four years out; fine and studio arts grads about $41,265 — a 2.7× spread on the same diploma. Have the major conversation before you deposit, not after.
  • Worth asking: do students finish? Only 29% graduate within six years here — the standard federal measure. Ask what drives that: course availability, transfers out, students working long hours. Not finishing is the costliest outcome there is.

The real cost

What Arizona State University Online actually costs

The federal file doesn't carry net-price figures for Arizona State University Online, so we can't show a with-aid and full-price range here the way we do on larger colleges. That's a gap in the government's data, not a sign this college is expensive or stingy.
