Baker University

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

For 2024-25, Baker University reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $34,550 and required fees of $650 for both Kansas residents and out-of-state students. Those charges total $35,200 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $35,200 for 2024-25.
• Reported typical room and board: $12,000 for an academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,200.
• Subtotal for those listed expenses: $48,400, before transportation and personal costs.

The subtotal is an illustration using the listed annual figures, not a complete individual cost-of-attendance quote. Housing and meal choices, course materials, program charges, and travel can change the bill. Graduate tuition is reported separately, and professional programs may use different pricing. The reported part-time undergraduate charge was $1,116 per credit hour in 2024-25.

Published charges are also different from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid. Reported average net prices vary by family income; for families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the figure is $18,530. A student's actual aid offer, eligibility, living arrangements, and borrowing determine what they must pay or finance. Baker reports broad aid receipt, but receiving aid does not mean that all costs are covered. Eligible students may seek federal or state grants, institutional scholarships, and federal loans; comparing an itemized aid offer with the full cost estimate is more informative than comparing tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Baker University?

Baker students can explore campus employment and, if eligible, Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study is a need-based student-employment program awarded through financial aid; it is not an automatic grant or a guarantee of a job.

Students seeking consideration should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and review their Baker aid offer, then ask the financial aid or student-employment office how available positions are posted. Ordinary campus jobs may have different eligibility rules and may be open to students without a Work-Study award. In either case, wages generally depend on hours actually worked, so a listed employment opportunity should not be treated as money already credited to a tuition bill.

Career-related internships are another way to gain experience, but they differ from student employment: academic credit, pay, supervision, and required hours depend on the placement and program. Baker does not report a university-wide internship requirement for all students.
