What it may cost by family income

Estimated average net price — what families actually pay after grants and scholarships — by annual household income. Net price matters far more than the $35,763 sticker price. All figures are the full cost of attendance — housing, food, and books included, not just tuition.

Household incomeEst. net price / year
Under $30k$16,500
$30k–$48k$16,387
$48k–$75k$19,622
$75k–$110k$21,680
Over $110k$20,364

Sticker cost of attendance: $35,763 (out-of-state) · $27,153 in-state.

What the whole degree costs

Every cost figure above is one year. A bachelor's degree is four — sometimes five. Today's-prices makes no assumptions; the second column assumes prices rise ~3.5% a year, in line with recent averages.

Household income4 yrs, today's prices4 yrs with increases
Under $30k$66,000$69,547
$30k–$48k$65,548$69,070
$48k–$75k$78,488$82,706
$75k–$110k$86,720$91,380
Over $110k$81,456$85,833

24% of students here graduate within six years. If the degree takes a fifth year, budget roughly one more year at the prices above — ask the school what share of students finish in four.

First-year aid is not guaranteed to repeat — ask Alabama A & M University how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.

Applying to a specific major at Alabama A & M University

58% is the acceptance rate for the whole university — not for every major. For the programs below, admission is usually decided separately and is harder than that number suggests. Almost no university publishes a by-major admission rate, and neither does the federal government, so we do not show one: any site that does is estimating.

To find the real figure for your major, check Alabama A & M University's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.

Computer Science Capacity-constrained

At Alabama A & M University: 26 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $52,107 median earnings (Computer and Information Sciences, General.)

Applicant demand has grown far faster than faculty and seats, so many universities cap CS enrollment, admit to it directly, or require a competitive internal application after enrolling.

Check: Whether the school admits to CS directly, and whether switching into CS later is restricted — the answer changes your real odds more than your test scores do.

Engineering Direct admit

At Alabama A & M University: 57 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $61,303 median earnings (Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering.)

Most engineering colleges admit students directly into the college rather than the university at large, and review them against a separate, usually more selective pool.

Check: Whether you apply to the engineering college directly, and what happens if you are not admitted — some schools offer general admission with a later transfer path, others do not.

Business Direct admit

At Alabama A & M University: 39 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $39,153 median earnings (Business Administration, Management and Operations.)

Many undergraduate business schools admit their own cohort at application time and are more selective than the university overall; others admit only after two years of coursework.

Check: Whether the business school is direct-admit for first-years, and if not, what GPA the internal application actually requires.

Federal data shows no bachelor's completions at Alabama A & M University in nursing, architecture or visual & performing arts, so those are not listed above. Small or new programs can be missing from federal reporting — confirm with the school before ruling one out.
