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

For 2024-25, Faith International University reported the same undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state full-time students. The published figures are starting prices, not a complete estimate of what an individual student will spend.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $8,100 for the academic year, plus $750 in required fees.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition: $180 per credit hour.
  • Full-time graduate tuition: $6,600 for the academic year, plus $750 in required fees.
  • Part-time graduate tuition: $275 per credit hour.

Undergraduate tuition and required fees therefore total $8,850 before books, transportation, living expenses, and any program-specific charges. Reported room and board costs total $17,310, but FIU does not offer college-operated undergraduate housing; that figure should be treated as a living-cost allowance, not the price of a campus residence or meal plan. Adding that allowance to undergraduate tuition and fees gives $26,160 before other expenses, not an all-inclusive bill.

Financial aid can change what a student ultimately pays. In the 2024-25 IPEDS figures, all students in the reported aid measure received some form of financial aid, while 24% received student loans. The average grant award reported for undergraduates was $7,052; an average is not an individual award or a guaranteed discount. Eligible students can ask the financial aid office how to apply for federal and state grants, institutional assistance, loans, and military education benefits, then compare their own aid offer with a full cost-of-attendance budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Faith International University?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study is need-based federal aid for eligible students, and an aid award does not itself place a student in a position or pay the full award in advance.

Ask FIU's financial aid office whether Work-Study is included in your offer, which jobs qualify, how positions are advertised, and whether approved off-campus employment is possible. A regular job may offer more scheduling flexibility but is not the same as a Work-Study award. Students seeking career development should separately ask their academic program about internships and employers in their field, and what help is available with résumés, interviews, and job searches. Those forms of support should not be confused with verified employment outcomes.
