• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $15,336 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• Reported required graduate fees, 2024-25: $0.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $426 per credit hour.

These are tuition figures, not a complete annual cost of attendance. Housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses depend on a student's circumstances. Nor is published tuition necessarily what a sponsored student pays personally: an employing service or agency may cover approved educational expenses under its own rules. Before accepting an offer, obtain a current charge schedule and a written explanation of sponsor coverage and any continuing-service obligation.

What are the work-study opportunities at Air Force Institute of Technology-Graduate School of Engineering & Management?

Work during AFIT study depends heavily on a student's status. A military member or sponsored civilian employee may attend as part of a full-time assignment, while a student seeking an additional job needs to consider academic demands, sponsor rules, and base-access requirements.

Federal Work-Study is a particular need-based student-aid program, not a general term for working while enrolled; an ordinary part-time job or paid research appointment is different. Applicants should ask AFIT and their sponsor which employment or research appointments are open to their category and whether outside work requires approval. Research performed for a thesis can build professional experience without necessarily being a separate paid job.
