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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $6,120, with $2,160 in required fees - $8,280 combined for the academic year. The reported undergraduate tuition and required fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These published charges are not a complete cost-of-attendance budget.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $8,280 for 2024-25.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition: $170 per credit hour for 2024-25, before applicable fees.
  • Full-time graduate tuition and required fees: $5,925 for 2024-25.
  • Part-time graduate tuition: $200 per credit hour for 2024-25, before applicable fees.

Students must also budget for housing, food, transportation, books, supplies, and any program-specific equipment. The total will depend heavily on whether a student lives at home, rents locally, or travels to campus regularly. Required fees should not be omitted when comparing Atlantic University's tuition with another school's advertised price.

Net price estimates the amount remaining after applicable grant and scholarship aid, rather than the published bill. Reported average net prices were $6,558 for students from families earning $0-$48,000 and $8,858 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 range. Those are averages for eligible students in income groups, not individual aid offers. A personalized financial aid offer and a budget for living expenses provide a better basis for an enrollment decision.

What are the work-study opportunities at Atlantic University?

Atlantic University reports individual career counseling and job-placement assistance as available to undergraduates. Students can use those services to discuss career direction and a job search, but access to assistance should not be confused with a verified job offer or placement rate.

Financial aid can affect how much paid work a student needs while enrolled. In the reported aid data, 86% of students received financial aid, while 6% had student loans. The average grant aid awarded to undergraduates was $5,325. Grants generally do not require repayment, whereas loans do; each student's eligibility and award amount will differ. Applicants seeking federal aid should complete the FAFSA and review the school's instructions for submitting any additional documents.

Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is earned through an approved job rather than credited in full against a tuition bill at the start of a term. Students interested in paid campus work should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study is included in their offer, how positions are advertised, and whether an offer of Work-Study funding guarantees a position. Ordinary part-time jobs and internships have different hiring and academic arrangements.
