Beacon College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Beacon College?

Beacon College has a high published cost relative to many undergraduate institutions. For the 2025-26 reporting period, full-time undergraduate tuition was $50,940 and required fees were $740, with the same reported charges for in-state and out-of-state students.

• Full-time tuition and required fees: $54,256 for the reported academic year.
• Typical room charge: $9,742.
• Typical board charge: $6,790.
• Combined tuition, fees, room and board: $68,212, using those reported figures.

That combined figure is not a complete personal budget: books, supplies, transportation and other expenses may add to it. Housing and dining charges also depend on the student's arrangements. For a part-time undergraduate, the reported charge was $2,122 per credit hour.

Financial aid can substantially change what a student pays, but an average is not an individual award. In 2024-25 reporting, 93% of students received financial aid, and the reported average grant aid was $24,107. Average net prices varied by family-income group; for families earning $48,000 or less, the reported figure was $47,213. Even after aid, that is a considerable expense. Students should compare their own aid offer and full cost-of-attendance budget, accounting for grants, loans and out-of-pocket payments separately.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans, applicable state assistance, institutional scholarships or military education benefits. Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the usual starting point for federal aid. Applicants should check Beacon's current aid deadlines and renewal conditions rather than assume that a first-year award will remain unchanged.

What are the work-study opportunities at Beacon College?

Beacon students can pursue work experience through internships and may seek part-time employment alongside their studies. The college reports an internship requirement, which is academically distinct from a paid student job: an internship may carry degree requirements without providing wages.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, generally provides an opportunity to earn wages through approved work; it is not a grant paid automatically or a guarantee of a job. Students should confirm with Beacon's financial aid office whether they have a Work-Study award, how positions are advertised and how many hours they can reasonably work. Those without an award can ask about other campus jobs and use career services for résumé help, job listings and interview preparation.
