For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $9,960, with $480 in required fees, for $10,440 in tuition and required fees. The reported undergraduate tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Part-time undergraduate tuition was listed at $415 per credit hour.
Tuition and fees are not the complete cost of attendance. Students may also need to budget for course materials, technology, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses. Reported aid figures indicate that students in the relevant aid measures received assistance, while 60% used student loans; borrowing must be repaid and is not a tuition discount. An individual's net cost depends on eligibility and the aid offer, so applicants should compare a program-specific cost estimate with their own financial-aid award.
Students seeking paid work while attending ALU should distinguish a regular part-time job from Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based student-aid program with eligibility and job-placement rules. A financial-aid award does not itself create a job or guarantee work-study earnings.
Applicants interested in work-study should ask ALU's financial-aid office whether they are eligible, how available positions are posted, and whether a proposed off-campus position qualifies. Students seeking career-related experience should separately ask their academic program about internships and employment support; an internship is not required for every ALU student.
