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 $83,250 sticker price. All figures are the full cost of attendance — housing, food, and books included, not just tuition.
| Household income | Est. net price / year |
|---|---|
| Under $30k | $11,017 |
| $30k–$48k | $18,457 |
| $48k–$75k | $17,262 |
| $75k–$110k | $19,330 |
| Over $110k | $40,085 |
Sticker cost of attendance: $83,250. GPA context: Women's college.
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 income | 4 yrs, today's prices | 4 yrs with increases |
|---|---|---|
| Under $30k | $44,068 | $46,436 |

First-year aid is not guaranteed to repeat — ask Bryn Mawr College how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.
Applying to a specific major at Bryn Mawr College
29% 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 Bryn Mawr College's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.
Federal data shows no bachelor's completions at Bryn Mawr College in computer science, engineering, nursing, business, 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.
