What is the cost of studying for a year at American Islamic College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at American Islamic College was $7,500, with $150 in required fees, for $7,650 in tuition and fees. The reported rates were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Books and supplies were estimated at $1,200; adding that estimate produces $8,850 before living, transportation and personal expenses.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $7,650.
  • Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $4,650.
  • Reported part-time charge, undergraduate or graduate: $250 per credit hour.

Those figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance. AIC does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing, so a student's rent, food and commuting costs depend on individual arrangements. Reported tuition figures from another period are higher; they should not be combined with 2024-25 fees to create a supposedly current estimate. Before deciding what is affordable, request a cost-of-attendance budget for the intended year and compare it with an individual aid offer. Reported grant aid averaged $5,292 for the relevant undergraduate aid population, but an average is not an award guarantee.

What are the work-study opportunities at American Islamic College?

Students considering a part-time job should distinguish ordinary employment from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based federal aid that, when offered by an eligible institution, pays a student for hours actually worked; it is not an upfront reduction in tuition.

Applicants interested in Work-Study should ask AIC's financial-aid office whether the program is offered for their enrollment year, how eligibility is determined and where approved jobs are posted. They should ask separately about other campus jobs. A paid internship or off-campus job may offer experience, but it does not automatically count as Federal Work-Study or satisfy an academic requirement.

The reported aid figures show that all students in the measured aid group received some form of financial assistance, while none received student loans in that group. Neither statistic establishes an individual student's eligibility for grants, employment or borrowing.
