Concordia University-Irvine

What is the cost of studying for a year at Concordia University-Irvine?

Concordia University Irvine charges private-university tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $42,500, with $980 in required fees. These are published charges before grants or scholarships.

Reported room and board charges totaled $14,554 for an academic year. Combining that amount with the reported tuition and required fees produces $58,034, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs also matter. Commuters will have a different housing budget. Graduate and part-time prices use different schedules and should not be estimated from the full-time undergraduate figure.

Aid can substantially change the amount paid. In 2024-25 reporting, the average undergraduate grant award was $26,137, and 52% of students received loans. Reported average net price varied by family-income group; for families earning $48,001-$75,000, it was $22,202. An average net price is not a personalized quote. Compare the current year's official cost-of-attendance budget with an individual aid offer, paying attention to which items are grants and which must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Concordia University-Irvine?

Concordia University Irvine students may be able to pursue campus jobs and, if eligible, Federal Work-Study positions. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded through the financial aid process; receiving an award generally permits a student to seek eligible work but does not itself provide a job or pay earnings in advance.

Students interested in work should review their financial aid offer and the university's current student-job postings. Ordinary part-time jobs do not require a Work-Study award, while internship credit or pay depends on the particular position and academic program.

For longer-term career planning, the university reports offering individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career and interest assessments, job listings, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. These services can support a search; they are not evidence that a student will receive an internship or job offer.
