Claremont Lincoln University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $9,000 for both California and out-of-state students, with no separately reported required fees. Reported full-time graduate tuition was $18,150, also without a residency difference or separately reported required fees.

• Undergraduate tuition: $9,000 for a full-time academic year; the reported part-time rate was $250 per credit.
• Graduate tuition: $18,150 for a full-time academic year; the reported part-time rate was $550 per credit.
• Books and supplies: an estimated $1,200, which is a planning expense rather than a tuition charge.

Tuition is not the whole cost of attendance. Students may also need to budget for housing, food, technology, transportation, and personal expenses. An aggregated room-and-board figure of $36,960 should not be read as the price of a CLU residence hall or meal plan: the institution reports no college-operated undergraduate housing. The relevant annual budget will depend heavily on where a student lives and how many credits they take.

Eligible students may use federal aid, including loans and, where applicable, grants; military education benefits may also be relevant. In 2024-25, 23% of students were reported as receiving student loans, and the reported average undergraduate grant award was $2,944. Neither figure predicts an individual award. Students seeking federal assistance should complete the FAFSA and review their own aid offer, including loan obligations, before comparing net costs.

What are the work-study opportunities at Claremont Lincoln University?

CLU students may need to arrange employment independently while studying online. A part-time job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study serve different purposes: only Federal Work-Study is a specific need-based financial aid program that pays eligible students for approved work.

Students interested in work-study should ask the financial aid office whether their award includes it and what positions are available to online students. An award does not automatically provide a job; wages generally depend on securing a position and working hours. For career development, applicants can also ask their program what advising, employer connections, or project-based opportunities are available in their field.
