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 $34,287 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 | $8,223 |
| $30k–$48k | $9,462 |
| $48k–$75k | $11,973 |
| $75k–$110k | $16,454 |
| Over $110k | $17,311 |
Sticker cost of attendance: $34,287 (out-of-state) · $20,427 in-state. GPA context: Largest HBCU; top producer of Black engineers.
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 | $32,892 | $34,659 |
| $30k–$48k | $37,848 | $39,882 |
| $48k–$75k | $47,892 | $50,466 |
| $75k–$110k | $65,816 | $69,353 |
| Over $110k | $69,244 | $72,965 |
57% 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 North Carolina A&T State 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 North Carolina A&T State University
50% 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 North Carolina A&T State University's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.
At North Carolina A&T State University: 64 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $68,666 median earnings (Computer Science.)
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.
At North Carolina A&T State University: 79 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $68,666 median earnings (Mechanical 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.
At North Carolina A&T State University: 48 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $59,042 median earnings (Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing.)
Clinical placement requirements hard-cap how many students a nursing program can take, which routinely makes direct-entry nursing among the most selective programs on a campus.
Check: Whether the program is direct-entry or requires applying again in sophomore year, and how many seats it takes per cohort.
At North Carolina A&T State University: 122 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $42,682 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 North Carolina A&T State University in 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.
