American Jewish University

What is the cost of studying for a year at American Jewish University?

In 2024-25 IPEDS figures, published full-time undergraduate tuition at AJU was $10,000, with $870 in required fees, for $10,870 before living and other expenses. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These historical undergraduate charges should not be mistaken for the current price of a newly available bachelor's program.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $10,870.
• 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition and required fees: $28,870, based on reported tuition of $28,000 and required fees of $870.
• 2024-25 reported part-time tuition: $333 per undergraduate credit or $1,474 per graduate credit, before applicable fees.

Those figures are published charges, not a complete annual cost of attendance. Books, transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses depend on the student and program. Graduate professional programs may also have their own pricing or required expenses, so an applicant should use a current program-specific estimate rather than adding historical figures to an unrelated housing budget.

Financial aid can change what an eligible student pays. IPEDS reported average grant aid of $6,310 for undergraduate recipients in 2024-25 and reported that 10% of students received student loans; neither figure predicts an individual award. Applicants should check current federal-aid eligibility, applicable state aid, AJU scholarships, and program-specific assistance, then compare their own aid offer with the full cost of attending.

What are the work-study opportunities at American Jewish University?

Student employment and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements at AJU, and neither should be assumed to accompany admission. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program: an eligible student ordinarily earns wages by working an approved job, rather than receiving the entire award as an upfront tuition discount.

Ask the financial aid office whether the intended degree and enrollment status qualify for Work-Study and how approved positions are advertised. For ordinary part-time work or internships, establish separately who handles hiring, whether work is paid, and whether it carries academic credit. Applicants seeking career support should also ask their specific program what advising, internship coordination, employer contacts, or alumni networking it currently provides; employment assistance is not an employment outcome.
