For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Eastern International College-Jersey City was $16,182 for both in-state and out-of-state students. Required fees added $2,201, bringing the published tuition-and-required-fees figure to $18,383 for an academic year. The reported part-time tuition rate was $559 per credit hour.
These amounts are not a complete living-expense budget. Books, supplies, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs can add to what a student needs to finance. Because the college does not operate undergraduate housing, students arranging their own accommodation must budget for it separately. Ask for the current program-specific cost of attendance rather than adding an assumed housing charge to the published tuition figure.
Financial aid can change a student's out-of-pocket cost, but loans must generally be repaid. In the reported 2024-25 aid figures, 94% of students received financial aid and 61% used student loans; a reported average undergraduate grant award was $5,321. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, applicable New Jersey assistance, and any institutional aid by completing the required aid applications. An individual award depends on eligibility and the program, so the financial aid offer is more useful for budgeting than the published price alone.
Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program, when offered and awarded to an eligible student; listing it on an aid offer does not itself place the student in a job.
A prospective student should ask Eastern International College's financial aid office whether Work-Study positions are available for the intended term, how students apply, and whether positions fit laboratory and clinical schedules. Separately, ask the program about career support such as résumé review, interview preparation, employer contacts, and help locating clinical experiences. Those services, if available, are not the same as a verified job-placement outcome.
