Clark University

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

Clark charges private-university tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $57,440 and required fees were $1,027, for $58,467 before living and other expenses.

• Reported typical room and board: $13,700 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $900.
• Tuition, required fees, room and board, and books together: approximately $73,067, before transportation and personal expenses.

That subtotal is not a complete, individually calculated cost of attendance. Housing choices, meal plans, travel, health insurance, and personal spending may change the amount, while annual charges can rise. Part-time and graduate tuition follow different schedules.

Published price also differs from net price after grant aid. For the reported income-based averages, net price was $13,313 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $39,035 for those from families earning more than $110,000. Those are averages for qualifying populations, not aid offers. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $33,077; students should compare their own award letter and estimated remaining costs, keeping loans separate from grants that do not have to be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Clark University?

Eligible Clark students may seek part-time employment, including positions supported by Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a federal financial-aid program that helps fund qualifying jobs; it is not a grant paid automatically at the start of a term and does not guarantee a position.

Students normally need to meet financial-aid eligibility requirements, receive a Work-Study award, apply for an available job, and earn wages for hours worked. Other campus jobs may be open to students without Work-Study, subject to the employer's hiring rules. An internship, meanwhile, may be paid or unpaid and has its own academic and employment conditions; it should not be confused with a Work-Study award.

Clark provides career support to undergraduates through individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, employer events, job-search resources, and alumni networking opportunities. Those services can help a student explore work or internships, but access to them is not a verified job-placement outcome. Students comparing employment options should ask about weekly hours, pay, eligibility, and whether earnings are already included in their aid plan.
