Harvey Mudd College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Harvey Mudd College?

Harvey Mudd has a high published price, but a student's actual cost depends heavily on financial aid. For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $68,262, with $351 in required fees. The published tuition rate did not differ for California and out-of-state students.

• Reported annual tuition and required fees: $76,070.
• Reported room charge: $12,570; board charge: $10,864.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $800.

Adding those reported items produces $92,847 before transportation, personal expenses, and other possible costs; it is not a complete individualized cost-of-attendance budget. Prices for a later academic year may differ. In the 2024-25 financial-aid reporting, 73% of undergraduates received financial aid, and the reported average grant award to grant recipients was $44,232. An average grant is not what every applicant will receive.

Eligible students may be considered for federal and state aid, institutional grants, and federal loans. Domestic applicants should check the current FAFSA and institutional-aid application requirements; international applicants should check the college's separate aid instructions. The most useful comparison is the individualized aid offer and net-price estimate, not the sticker price or an average for an income bracket. Families should also distinguish grants, which generally do not require repayment, from loans and earnings expected from work.

What are the work-study opportunities at Harvey Mudd College?

Harvey Mudd students can seek part-time campus employment, and eligible students may receive a Federal Work-Study award through financial aid. Work-Study is permission to earn up to an awarded amount through an eligible job; it is not money automatically credited in full to a student's bill.

Students generally must find and perform an available job to receive wages. Jobs without Federal Work-Study funding may also be available, but hiring and schedules depend on the employer. Separately, Harvey Mudd's career services offer résumé help, interview preparation, employer recruiting, job fairs, and alumni networking. Those services can support a search for internships or postgraduation work, but neither career advising nor participation in the Clinic Program guarantees an offer.
