What is the cost of studying for a year at Atlanta Metropolitan State College?

For the 2024-25 figures reported for AMSC, full-time undergraduate tuition was $2,568 for Georgia residents and $9,720 for nonresidents, with $680 in required fees for either group. That puts the listed tuition-and-fee amounts at $3,248 for residents and $10,808 for nonresidents. Part-time students were charged a reported $107 per credit for in-state tuition or $405 per credit for out-of-state tuition, before applicable fees.

  • Georgia residents: $2,568 full-time tuition plus $680 required fees in the reported 2024-25 figures.
  • Nonresidents: $9,720 full-time tuition plus $680 required fees in the reported 2024-25 figures.

Tuition and fees are not a complete annual budget. Books, transportation, food, personal expenses, and off-campus housing where needed can substantially change the amount a student must finance. Published charges also differ from net price, which reflects aid. The reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $4,184; that is an average for a defined group, not an individual quote.

Eligible students may reduce costs through federal grants, Georgia aid programs, scholarships, or other assistance, generally by completing the relevant aid applications and meeting each program's rules. In the reported aid data, 77% of students received financial aid and 33% had student loans. Applicants should use AMSC's current cost-of-attendance budget and their own aid offer to compare the amount they would actually need to pay or borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Atlanta Metropolitan State College?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from other part-time employment. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded to eligible students; receiving an award does not necessarily place a student in a job, and earnings generally depend on hours worked.

Applicants interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their AMSC aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how eligible students apply for available positions. Other on-campus or nearby jobs may have separate hiring processes and need not be part of a financial aid award. AMSC also reports career counseling, résumé preparation, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment for undergraduates. Those services can support a job search but should not be confused with a guarantee of employment or an internship required of every student.
