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

For 2024-25, Atenas University's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees together totaled $8,954 for the academic year; that figure does not include living expenses, transportation, books, or program-specific supplies.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $6,907.
  • Required undergraduate fees: $2,047.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $195 per credit hour.
  • Full-time graduate tuition: $6,300, plus $1,505 in required graduate fees.

These are 2024-25 published charges, not a complete current-year cost-of-attendance estimate. A student's budget may also need to cover commuting, equipment, uniforms, examinations, and expenses associated with clinical placement. Request an itemized estimate for the intended program so that charges included in mandatory fees are not counted twice.

Financial aid can change the amount a student ultimately pays. In 2024-25, 94% of students were reported as receiving financial aid, and 12% received student loans. Reported average net price - the cost remaining after grant and scholarship aid - for families with annual income of $0-$48,000 was $4,602. Net price is an average for a defined income group, not an individual quote; eligibility, enrollment intensity, and living arrangements can change the result. Students seeking federal aid should complete the FAFSA and ask the financial aid office which grants, loans, scholarships, and eligible military education benefits can apply to their program.

What are the work-study opportunities at Atenas University?

Atenas University students who want to work while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study, if offered to an eligible student, from an ordinary part-time job. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through approved employment; receiving an aid offer does not itself mean a position has been secured.

Ask the financial aid office whether work-study positions are available for the current year, how students apply, and whether jobs can fit around laboratory and clinical schedules. Students seeking work outside an aid program can ask about campus openings and local employers, but those wages should not be assumed in a financial plan before a job offer is made.

Employment support is a separate consideration. Applicants who expect help finding internships or work after completion should request a current description of career counseling, résumé review, interview preparation, employer connections, and any placement assistance available to their particular program. Those services, even when offered, are distinct from a verified employment outcome.
