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 $22,101 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$1,029
$30k–$48k$2,287
$48k–$75k$6,193
$75k–$110k$8,917
Over $110k$12,254

Sticker cost of attendance: $22,101 (out-of-state) · $14,151 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$4,116$4,337
$30k–$48k$9,148$9,640
$48k–$75k$24,772$26,103
$75k–$110k$35,668$37,585
Over $110k$49,016$51,650

54% 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 CUNY Brooklyn 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 CUNY Brooklyn College

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 CUNY Brooklyn College'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 CUNY Brooklyn College: 194 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $56,776 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.

Business Direct admit

At CUNY Brooklyn College: 606 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $38,230 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.

Visual & Performing Arts Portfolio or audition

At CUNY Brooklyn College: 159 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $31,236 median earnings (Film/Video and Photographic Arts.)

Admission usually turns on an audition or portfolio judged by the department, which can outweigh grades and test scores in either direction.

Check: Audition/portfolio dates and prescreen requirements — many fall well before the regular application deadline.

Federal data shows no bachelor's completions at CUNY Brooklyn College in engineering, nursing or architecture, so those are not listed above. Small or new programs can be missing from federal reporting — confirm with the school before ruling one out.
