For 2024-25, Epic's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for California and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees totaled $11,484 for the academic year; that is a published charge, not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate or a promise of what an individual student will pay.
Students must budget separately for books, transportation, personal expenses, and housing and food. Because Epic does not offer college-operated undergraduate housing, those living expenses will depend substantially on individual circumstances. Ask the financial-aid office for a current, program-specific cost-of-attendance budget rather than treating tuition and fees as the full annual cost.
Financial assistance may change the amount a student ultimately pays. In the reported undergraduate aid figures, the average grant award was $2,013, while 53% of students in the reported loan measure received student loans. Those group measures do not predict an individual award. Applicants should confirm Epic's current federal-aid participation, complete the applicable aid application, and ask about institutional scholarships, California aid eligibility, and veterans' education benefits where relevant. Loans must generally be repaid; grants and scholarships ordinarily do not, subject to their conditions.
Students considering a job alongside Epic coursework should distinguish ordinary part-time employment from Federal Work-Study, a need-based financial-aid program that pays eligible students for approved work. A work-study award is not the same as an upfront tuition discount or a guaranteed job.
Ask the financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study is available in the current award year, how eligibility is determined, and how students apply for positions. For other employment, students should ask which office posts campus jobs and how course schedules accommodate work. Applicants seeking ministry or career experience should separately establish whether their program offers supervised placements and what support is available for finding them.
