Baptist University of the Americas

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

For 2024-25, BUA reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students: $7,680 for the academic year. Required undergraduate fees were $720, bringing those two published charges to $8,400 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $7,680 per academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $720 per academic year.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $320 per credit hour.
• Reported typical room charge: $3,080 per academic year; this is not a complete housing-and-meals estimate.
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees: $7,380 and $540, respectively.

These are published 2024-25 charges, not a personalized bill or a complete cost of attendance. Students need a current estimate that also includes meals, course materials, travel, and living expenses. In particular, the reported room charge should not be added to tuition and described as a full residential budget without a separate dining estimate.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. IPEDS 2024-25 figures report that 100% of students received some form of financial aid, while 10% received student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award from federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources was $5,514. That average is not an award offer to an individual applicant. Eligible students may explore federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, along with any applicable Texas aid, BUA scholarships, and military education benefits. Ask the financial aid office which applications and deadlines apply to each source.

For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $12,264. Net price estimates include more than tuition and vary with both aid and living arrangements; the best comparison is an individualized aid offer paired with the school's cost-of-attendance budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Baptist University of the Americas?

BUA reports career counseling and job-search assistance for undergraduates, including résumé preparation, career-interest testing, employer referrals, job fairs, and access to alumni networking. Its career-service information also identifies individual and group planning, employer recruitment, and placement assistance.

An internship is reported as a student requirement, but applicants should check how the requirement works in their particular degree: a ministry placement, business internship, and other field experience may have different prerequisites, supervision rules, and schedules. Career services and internships provide experience and support; neither is a verified promise of employment.

Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a form of financial aid earned through an approved job rather than money automatically deducted from tuition. A regular campus job is a separate employment arrangement. Students seeking either should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study is included in their aid offer and where approved positions are posted; an aid award alone does not guarantee a job.
