Anna Maria College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Anna Maria College?

Anna Maria College is a private institution, and its reported undergraduate tuition does not differ by Massachusetts residency. For 2024-25, published full-time undergraduate tuition was $41,744, with $2,827 in required fees. Housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses can raise the annual budget substantially.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $41,744.
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $2,827.
• Reported room and board charge: $15,312.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,000.

The listed tuition and fees total $44,571 before living expenses. The room-and-board and books figures are separate reported estimates; students should use the college's budget for their own entry year and housing choice rather than treat figures from different reporting categories as a guaranteed bill. Transportation and personal expenses are additional considerations, particularly for commuters and students traveling to placements.

Aid can reduce the amount a student pays, but it does not make the published price irrelevant. In 2024-25 reporting, all students in the measured aid population received some form of financial aid, while 65% had student loans. Average grant aid to undergraduates was reported at $26,458. Average net price for families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $24,373; net price is an average after grant and scholarship aid, not an individual award. Applicants should complete the required aid application, compare their own offers, and separate grants from loans and work earnings.

What are the work-study opportunities at Anna Maria College?

Anna Maria College reports career-development support that includes individual and group counseling, résumé help, career-interest assessment, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, and an alumni networking program. These services can help students explore careers and seek experience, but using them is not an employment guarantee.

Federal Work-Study is a distinct form of need-based financial aid: an eligible student earns wages through an approved job rather than receiving the full award as an upfront tuition discount. Students should review their aid offer for eligibility and ask how available positions are advertised. A regular campus job may have different eligibility rules, while an internship may be paid, unpaid, or taken for academic credit depending on the placement.

Not every Anna Maria degree requires an internship. Students seeking professional experience should ask their department which placements count toward their program and use career counseling to plan applications, interviews, and a realistic work schedule alongside coursework.
