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

Assumption's reported 2024-25 tuition for a full-time undergraduate was $50,494, with $862 in required fees. The reported tuition and fee amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $53,420 for 2025-26.
  • Typical room and board charges: $16,344 for an academic year.
  • Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,000.

Adding those reported items produces approximately $68,700, before transportation and personal expenses. This is an illustrative combination of charges and allowances, not an individual financial-aid offer or a complete budget for every student. Commuters and students in different housing or meal-plan arrangements may have different costs; graduate and part-time tuition follow different rates.

Published cost is also different from net price, which reflects grant aid. Assumption reports average income-band net prices of $23,632 for families earning up to $48,000 and $33,463 for families earning more than $110,000. Those are group averages, not quotes for a particular household. Reported average undergraduate grant aid was $33,358, while a high share of students also used loans. Eligible students may receive institutional scholarships, federal or state grants, and other assistance after completing the relevant aid applications. Applicants should compare their own aid offer and remaining borrowing needs with the university's current full cost-of-attendance budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Assumption University?

Assumption students can seek part-time employment while enrolled, and eligible students may have access to Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a form of need-based federal aid earned through an approved job; it is not an automatic credit against the tuition bill or a guarantee of a position.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the required financial-aid application and review their aid offer, then follow the university's student-employment process for available positions. Other campus jobs may have different eligibility and funding rules. An internship, whether paid or unpaid, is a separate academic or career-development opportunity; Assumption does not require an internship of every student.

For career planning, the university reports individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, career fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. These services can help students search and prepare, but their availability should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome. Students comparing a prospective major should ask its department how internships or field experiences fit into the curriculum.
