Catholic International University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Catholic International University was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees together totaled $10,080 for that academic year. These are published charges, not a complete estimate of an individual student's annual expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $8,688, plus $1,392 in required fees.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $362 per credit hour.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $6,240, plus $696 in required fees.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $520 per credit hour.

Students should budget separately for books, technology, internet access and personal expenses, as well as housing and food wherever they live. Per-credit charges and full-time annual charges describe different enrollment patterns and should not be added together. Reported 2024-25 aid figures show that 100% of students in the applicable aid measure received financial aid, while 23% had student loans. The average undergraduate grant award in the reported measure was $4,245; an individual award can differ substantially. Applicants can use the university's financial aid process to establish eligibility for federal grants and loans and to ask about institutional assistance and military education benefits. The resulting aid offer, rather than the published tuition alone, is the better basis for a personal budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Catholic International University?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, generally provides access to qualifying paid positions; the award is not a lump-sum grant and earnings depend on hours worked.

Applicants interested in student employment should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify, what positions can be performed remotely and how hiring works. A separate search for local employment or internships may be more practical for a student living far from Charles Town. Students seeking career development can also ask their academic program about field-specific advising and professional contacts, while recognizing that access to support is different from a verified job-placement outcome.
