College tuition fees rose 2.7% in Orange County in the 2022-23 school year, according to the latest disclosure from the National Center for Education Statistics.

Data shows that students paid $13,871 on average to attend higher education courses at the time, $370 more than the previous school year.

Among the seven institutions providing full disclosure in the county, Mount Saint Mary College stood out with the highest tuition fees, reaching an average of $37,940. Orange Ulster BOCES-Practical Nursing Program followed with an average of $15,142 per year. Orange County Community College students were offered the lowest annual tuition fees at $6,317.

At the time, at least $20.5 million in grants or scholarships were awarded to full-time undergraduates who started at the Orange County universities in the 2022-23 school year. Additionally, federal student loans reached more than $2.8 million.

Currently there are eight higher education institutions in Orange County, including Mount Saint Mary College, United States Military Academy, and Orange County Community College.

Undergraduate education costs have seen a significant increase over the past few decades. Data shows a 169% rise in the average total cost, including tuition, fees, room, and board, between 1980 and 2020.

According to a 2023 College Board report, in-state students at public universities paid an average of $11,260, while out-of-state students paid $29,150 in the 2023-24 academic year.

Meanwhile, student loan debt has steadily increased over the last 30 years, reaching $1.75 trillion in 2024, averaging a total of $28,950 per borrower. Federal loans make up 92% of the debt, with over half of students at both public and private four-year colleges graduating with student loans.

Of the eight institutions in Orange County, United States Military Academy did not provide detailed data on tuition fees.

Available data sometimes exceeds 100% due to rounding and administrative calculations.
