Golden Gate University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Golden Gate University was $11,088, with $255 in required fees, for a combined published charge of $11,343. The reported tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $418 per credit.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $11,343.
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $17,070; the reported part-time graduate charge was $1,090 per credit.
• Reported annual room-and-board benchmark: $15,040; reported books-and-supplies benchmark: $1,200.

The room-and-board figure is a budgeting benchmark, not a price for a GGU residence hall. Combining that benchmark and books with undergraduate tuition and fees gives an illustrative $27,583 before transportation and personal expenses. It should not be mistaken for an official individualized cost-of-attendance estimate or a bill.

Eligible students may offset costs through federal grants and loans, applicable California aid, institutional assistance or military education benefits. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $5,422, but an average is not an offer to an individual student. Students should complete the required financial aid application and compare their own aid offer with tuition, living expenses and any costs specific to their program. Published charges can also change after the 2024-25 reporting year.

What are the work-study opportunities at Golden Gate University?

Golden Gate University students can use career-support resources while studying, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award and internship are three different things. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, provides the opportunity to earn wages through qualifying employment; it is not money credited automatically to a tuition bill or a guarantee of a position.

Students seeking work should check their aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and ask how GGU posts and hires for qualifying positions. Other part-time jobs may be available without a Work-Study award, while internships have their own academic and employer requirements. GGU's reported career services include individual and group counseling for undergraduates, résumé assistance, interview workshops, career-interest testing, a job bank, job fairs and alumni networking opportunities. These services support a job search but are not employment outcomes.
