For 2024-25, the reported full-time undergraduate tuition at California College of ASU was $25,000, with $186 in required fees. The combined published amount was $25,186, the same for in-state and out-of-state students. The reported part-time charge was $1,042 per credit hour; part-time students should confirm how required fees are assessed.
Tuition and mandatory fees are not a complete annual budget. Students may also need to pay for housing, food, transportation, books, software, equipment, and personal expenses. Creative programs can have project-related costs, so an itemized estimate for the intended major is especially useful.
Financial aid changes what an individual may pay, but grants and loans are different forms of assistance. IPEDS 2024-25 figures report that 100% of students received financial aid and 62% had student loans. For students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $19,980. A net price is an average after applicable aid, not a quote for a new applicant; the college's current cost-of-attendance estimate and an individual aid offer provide a better basis for budgeting.
Students seeking part-time work should distinguish ordinary employment from Federal Work-Study, which is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job rather than paid upfront as a grant. A financial aid offer and the availability of a position are separate questions.
Ask the financial aid office whether California College of ASU participates in Federal Work-Study for the student's program, how eligibility is determined, and where approved jobs are posted. Other part-time jobs or internships may help build experience but are not automatically work-study positions. Students pursuing creative-field internships should also confirm academic-credit rules and whether the position is paid.
