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 $54,690 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$13,797
$30k–$48k$14,357
$48k–$75k$16,184
$75k–$110k$20,475
Over $110k$30,639

Sticker cost of attendance: $54,690 (out-of-state) · $35,178 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$55,188$58,154
$30k–$48k$57,428$60,514
$48k–$75k$64,736$68,215
$75k–$110k$81,900$86,301
Over $110k$122,556$129,142

67% 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 Rutgers University-Camden how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.

Applying to a specific major at Rutgers University-Camden

66% 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 Rutgers University-Camden'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 Rutgers University-Camden: 36 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $71,778 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.

Nursing Direct admit

At Rutgers University-Camden: 267 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $72,975 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.

Business Direct admit

At Rutgers University-Camden: 313 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $52,858 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 Rutgers University-Camden in engineering, 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.
