This year at Hilbert College, we project that on average students will pay $25,366, while the advertised price of attendance is $52,560. That’s a difference of $27,194.

How much a student actually pays usually depends, at least in part, on their family's household income. At Hilbert College this year, we project students with incomes between $48K and $75K will pay around $27,114, while students with incomes below $30K will pay around $21,498. That's a difference of $5,617.
| Income bracket | Projected net price at Hilbert College |
|---|---|
| <$30K | $21,498 |
| $30K-$48K | $26,928 |
| $48K-$75K | $27,114 |
| $75K-$110K | $26,948 |
| >$110K | $26,999 |
A school’s graduation rate can indicate how likely a student is to complete their degree. At Hilbert College, over the last five years 54% of students earned their bachelor’s degree within six years of enrolling.
Students from different demographic backgrounds often graduate at different rates, so it can be helpful to look beyond the overall graduation rate. This chart shows how students of different races and ethnicities fare earning their degrees at Hilbert College.
| Demographic category | Graduation rate at Hilbert College | National average |
|---|---|---|
| American Indian/Alaska Native | 40% | 31% |
| Asian | 33% | 45% |
| Black | 27% | 34% |
| Hispanic | 48% | 41% |
| Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander | 100% | 28% |
| White | 59% | 50% |
| Multiple races | 43% | 37% |
| Unknown race | 51% | 37% |
Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at Hilbert College, about 68% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. Hilbert College has 2,912 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of private, 4-year schools.
About 60% of students are female.
And about 71% of students are of an unknown demographic background.
