Azusa Pacific University

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

For 2024-25, APU reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $43,758 and required fees of $700, for $44,458 in tuition and fees. The reported rates were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. These published charges are a starting point, not the amount every student pays after aid.

For that reporting year, typical room and board totaled $14,622, while books and supplies were estimated at $1,090. Adding those figures to tuition and required fees produces about $60,170 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges. It is not a complete official cost-of-attendance budget, and a commuter's housing and food costs may look different. Part-time and graduate students should use their own program's rate rather than this full-time undergraduate estimate.

Financial assistance can materially change the price. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award from reported sources was $24,663. Nearly half received student loans; unlike grants, loans generally must be repaid. Averages do not establish what an individual applicant will receive.

Reported average net price - cost after grant and scholarship aid - was $20,495 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $22,998 for families earning $48,001-$75,000. Those income-band averages include students with different circumstances and are not personalized quotes. To estimate an actual bill, applicants should compare the current-year cost-of-attendance budget with their own aid offer, separating grants and scholarships from loans and anticipated work earnings. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, California aid, institutional scholarships, and applicable veteran or military education benefits; the required aid applications and renewal conditions differ by program.

What are the work-study opportunities at Azusa Pacific University?

APU students can seek part-time work alongside their studies, including positions connected with campus operations. Federal Work-Study is one possible source of student employment for eligible students; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term and does not guarantee a job.

Federal Work-Study eligibility is determined through the financial aid process and depends on factors such as financial need and available funding. A student offered Work-Study still generally must find and secure an eligible position and earn wages for hours worked. Other campus jobs may be open without a Work-Study award. Students should check APU's current student-employment postings and ask financial aid whether a particular position qualifies under their award.

APU also reports career support for undergraduates, including individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview practice, employer recruitment, and job fairs. These services can help students explore a major, look for internships, or prepare applications, but their availability is not evidence of a particular placement rate. Not every APU student is required to complete an internship; requirements depend on the program.
