What is the cost of studying for a year at Center for Advanced Studies On Puerto Rico and the Caribbean?

For 2024-25, reported full-time graduate tuition was $1,800, with $235 in required graduate fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state graduate students. These historical figures are not a current personalized bill or a complete annual cost of attendance.

• Reported 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition: $1,800.
• Reported 2024-25 required full-time graduate fees: $235.
• Reported 2024-25 part-time graduate charge: $900 per credit hour.

The difference between the reported full-time tuition figure and the per-credit charge makes it especially important to request a written estimate for the intended program and course load. Add books, transportation, housing and personal expenses separately; do not treat tuition and fees as the total cost. An individual's eventual cost also depends on any aid for which that student qualifies.

What are the work-study opportunities at Center for Advanced Studies On Puerto Rico and the Caribbean?

Graduate students considering paid work should confirm directly whether the center offers Federal Work-Study positions or other student jobs. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program with eligibility and funding limits; it is not the same as an ordinary part-time job or an unpaid degree requirement.

Applicants can ask the financial aid office whether their program and enrollment level qualify, how students find openings and whether positions fit around evening classes or research commitments. A job, if offered, should not be counted toward a personal budget until its pay and expected hours are known.
