• Full-time undergraduate tuition and reported required fees, 2024-25: $10,716.

• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $354 per credit hour.

Tuition is not a complete living-cost budget. Books, technology, transportation, housing, food, and any program-specific expenses can change the amount a student needs. Because ANU does not provide institution-operated undergraduate housing, students arranging their own accommodation should budget for it separately rather than interpreting the tuition figure as an all-in price.

Financial aid can change the amount paid out of pocket, but grants and loans have different consequences. In the 2024-25 data, 95% of students received some form of financial aid, while 72% had student loans. Reported average net price was $15,465 for students from families earning no more than $48,000 and $20,692 for the $48,001-$75,000 income band. These are group averages, not quotes for a new applicant.

Eligible students can use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to establish eligibility for federal grants, loans, and other applicable aid. The most useful price comparison is an individualized aid offer that identifies grants separately from loans and includes the student's expected enrollment intensity and living expenses.

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

Students considering a job while enrolled should distinguish ordinary part-time employment from Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study, when available to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job; it is not an upfront reduction in the tuition bill or a guarantee of a position.

Ask ANU's financial aid office whether the current award year includes Federal Work-Study opportunities, how positions are posted, and whether an aid offer must include Work-Study before a student applies. Also ask an academic adviser how a work schedule would fit any required live sessions, labs, or clinical placements.

Career support is a separate consideration. Students can request a current description of ANU's help with resumes, interviews, internships, and employer connections, then ask which services are available remotely. Career assistance should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
