Albany State University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Albany State University?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Albany State's listed full-time undergraduate tuition was $4,176 for Georgia residents and $15,528 for out-of-state students. Listed required fees added $1,480 in either category. That makes tuition plus required fees $5,656 for an in-state student or $21,290 for an out-of-state student, before living and other expenses.

• Listed typical annual room charge: $4,480.
• Listed typical annual board charge: $5,200.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $3,145.

Adding those reported amounts gives an illustrative annual total of $18,481 for an in-state student living in the listed campus housing arrangement, or $29,833 for an out-of-state student. Neither figure is a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, program charges, and differences among housing and meal plans may change the total. The books-and-supplies allowance is also a budget figure, not an amount every student will spend.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays, but borrowing is not a price discount. In the reported aid data, 96% of students received some form of financial aid and 63% had student loans. Average net price - a retrospective measure after grant or scholarship aid - varied by family income; it was $11,147 for students in the lowest reported income band. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Georgia aid programs, and institutional scholarships, generally beginning with the FAFSA and any separate scholarship requirements. A current, individualized aid offer is more useful for budgeting than an institutional average.

What are the work-study opportunities at Albany State University?

Albany State students can pursue part-time work and career-development support, but Federal Work-Study is not the same as a guaranteed campus job. Work-Study eligibility depends on financial need, available funding, and the student's aid offer; eligible students ordinarily must still apply for and obtain a position.

Students can ask Financial Aid how work-study positions are advertised and whether other campus jobs are open to applicants who do not receive a work-study award. Earnings from a job are generally paid as wages as work is performed, rather than automatically deducted from a tuition bill. An internship is different again: it may provide academic credit, pay, both, or neither, depending on the arrangement. Albany State does not require an internship of every student.

For career planning, the university reports services including individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, job listings, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Students can use those services to explore a major or seek work experience; their availability should not be confused with a verified job-placement rate.
