Ascent College

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

For 2025-26, Ascent College reported the same undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees for in-state and out-of-state full-time students: $8,400 in tuition plus $150 in required fees, or $9,400 combined. The reported part-time undergraduate tuition was $350 per credit.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $8,400.
• Required full-time undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $150.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $350 per credit.

Those published charges are not a complete annual budget. Books, transportation, housing, food, and personal expenses can materially increase what a student needs to pay. Students should request a current cost-of-attendance estimate for their own course load and living arrangement rather than combine figures from different reporting years. A financial-aid offer can then show the difference between published charges, grants, and amounts that must be covered through savings, earnings, or loans.

Federal grants and loans depend on eligibility and the applicable aid rules; state or institutional assistance may have additional conditions. In 2024-25 reporting, 36% of students had student loans, while the average reported grant award to undergraduate recipients was $1,219. An average award is not an estimate of what a new applicant will receive. Students should complete the required financial-aid application and obtain an individualized offer before treating any assistance as part of their budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Ascent College?

Ascent College reports an internship requirement, offering a potential connection between coursework and practical experience. An internship, however, is not the same as a paid student job or a Federal Work-Study position.

Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is aid earned through approved employment rather than a grant paid automatically toward the bill. Applicants who need employment should ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study is available in their award and how positions are found. They should also ask their program whether its internship may be paid, who arranges placements, and what supervision is required. Those answers are more useful for budgeting than assuming an internship will generate income.
