Capital University

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

Capital University is a private university, so its published undergraduate tuition does not differ by Ohio residency in the reported figures. For 2024-25, full-time undergraduate tuition was $42,744, with $490 in required fees. These are published charges before scholarships, grants, and other aid.

• 2024-25 undergraduate tuition and required fees: $43,234.
• Reported annual room and board: $13,388.
• Reported annual books and supplies: $2,238.

Adding those reported items gives $58,860, but that is not a complete individualized cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges may add to a student's budget. Housing and meal choices also affect the amount billed. Students should not combine a tuition figure from a later year with these 2024-25 living-cost figures and treat the result as one year's official estimate.

Aid can make the amount paid substantially different from the published price. Reported average net prices for students in families with annual income up to $48,000 and $48,001-$75,000 were $18,574 and $20,331, respectively. Net price is a historical average after grant and scholarship aid, not a quote for a particular applicant. Capital reports that 99% of students received financial aid, while 63% had student loans; a loan reduces the immediate bill but must generally be repaid. Eligible students may combine institutional scholarships with federal or state aid, subject to award rules. Completing the FAFSA and comparing the final aid offer with the full cost of attendance provides a more useful affordability picture than tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Capital University?

Capital University students may seek part-time employment while enrolled, and eligible students may qualify for Federal Work-Study through their financial aid package. Work-Study is a need-based federal student-employment program, not an automatic cash discount on tuition or a guarantee of a job.

Students should check their aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and then follow Capital's student-job application process for available positions. Other campus jobs may be open to students without a Work-Study award. Internships are different again: they may provide pay, academic credit, both, or neither, depending on the placement. Capital's career services can assist with job-search preparation, but students should confirm the pay, schedule, and academic-credit rules of any specific opportunity.
