Cox College

Cox College sits in Springfield proper — a private campus woven into the city rather than walled off from it.

Faculty pay averages $96,288 a year here — a rough proxy for what the school spends on the teaching itself. Most of its 540 undergraduates commute — campus empties by evening — yet 0% of first-years return, which says something about what daytime here is worth.

What that means for you depends on the numbers — which is what the rest of this page is for.

Cost, size & completion

Cox College lists tuition at $14,822 for everyone — private schools don't do residency pricing. Cox College's sticker and net price can differ sharply after aid; treat $14,822 as the ceiling, not the bill.

With 540 undergraduates, Cox College is small enough that class size and faculty access are structural, not marketing claims.

100% of Cox College students finish a bachelor's within six years — 45.1 points above the national 54.9% — and the single best predictor that the $14,822 price above buys a degree, not just enrollment.
