PAYOFF CURVE

No payoff curve is shown.

Observed year-4 earnings are available, but the current federal record does not provide a usable institution-wide average net price.

FEDERAL COST DATA

Four ways to read college price.

Annual college-wide figures from the current College Scorecard release. Average net price covers full-time, first-time undergraduates receiving federal aid; public-college figures use in-state students. Program tuition and individual aid offers may differ.

What makes up the annual price?

Sticker-price components reported to IPEDS. Grants and scholarships are not subtracted here.

Tuition and required fees$4,800Same reported price regardless of residency
Books and supplies$800Estimated academic-year allowance
On-campus housing and food$3,600$2,400 in other expenses reported separately
Estimated on-campus total$11,600Sum of available published components, before aid

Living off campus: $6,000 housing and food allowance plus $6,000 in other expenses.

Do not confuse this with net price. Net price subtracts average grants and scholarships. DegreeVerdict continues to use the separately labeled average net price in its standard college ROI scenario.

DUAL-ENROLLMENT CONTEXT · 2024

3 high-school students took college courses.

IPEDS counts students enrolled in college credit while still in high school. A large dual-enrollment population can shape headline enrollment figures, especially at community colleges.

This is participation, not a college completion rate. It does not indicate how many students later enrolled after high school, earned a credential or entered the workforce.

STATE PRICE CONTEXT · 2024

Prices in Alabama run 11% below the U.S. level.

BEA Regional Price Parities compare price levels across states. A value of 100 equals the national average.

Overall11% below U.S.
Goods4% below U.S.
Housing38% below U.S.
Utilities15% below U.S.
Other services3% below U.S.

Use this as geographic context, not a personal budget. It describes the state, not the campus neighborhood, and does not measure tuition or student-specific housing.

DegreeVerdict does not adjust reported earnings, college prices or ROI using this index.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

What the numbers say about Selma University

What does Selma University cost?

The current federal record does not provide a reliable average net price for Selma University.

What do Selma University graduates earn?

The observed median earnings figure is $21,666 4 years after completion. It describes a federal cohort, not a guaranteed starting salary.

How much federal debt do Selma University graduates have?

Median federal debt for completer borrowers is not reportable in the current record.

Is every degree at Selma University worth the same?

The current release does not contain reportable degree outcomes for Selma University, so this page cannot compare its individual degrees.

DEBT AFTER COLLEGE

Are borrowers making progress?

Repayment progress, default and debt at exit describe different federal borrower cohorts. They are shown separately and do not change the ROI estimate.

1 year7%Paid down at least $1 of principal
3 years12%Paid down at least $1 of principal
5 years13%Paid down at least $1 of principal

Source: College Scorecard. Repayment progress is the share of borrowers who reduced principal by at least $1 at the stated measurement point. Debt covers federal student loans; Parent PLUS and private loans are excluded. Cohorts and reporting periods differ across measures.

DEGREE OUTCOMES

No degree-level outcomes are currently reportable.

This college remains in the national directory because it appears in the College Scorecard. Degree outcomes may be unavailable, privacy-suppressed or outside the reported cohorts.

Earnings, price, completion and enrollment are observed federal measures. ROI, payoff and break-even are modeled scenarios built from those measures and fixed assumptions. College payoff is not the payoff of every degree at this school; use the program table for a more precise comparison.
