Jackson College

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

Jackson College's published price depends on residency, credit load, and living arrangements. In the 2024-25 institutional figures, full-time in-state undergraduate tuition was $6,750, with $1,560 in required fees; the comparable out-of-state tuition figure was $8,640, with the same reported fees. These are published charges before individual financial aid.

• In-state tuition and required fees, using those full-time figures: $8,310.
• Out-of-state tuition and required fees, using those full-time figures: $8,520.
• Reported room and board: $11,510; reported books and supplies: $1,082.

Those figures should not be added together as a personalized bill. Room and board represent a living-cost estimate, not necessarily a charge every student pays to the college; transportation, personal spending, and program-specific expenses can add further costs. Part-time tuition in the same data was $225 per credit for in-state students and $288 per credit for out-of-state students, before applicable fees. Students should use the college's current tuition schedule and their intended number of credits for an enrollment-term estimate.

Financial aid can substantially change the amount a student pays. The reported aid measure shows 92% receiving some form of financial aid and 17% receiving student loans; receiving aid does not mean all expenses were covered. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Michigan aid, and institutional scholarships, generally beginning with the FAFSA. The reported average net price for students from families earning no more than $48,000 was $6,062. Net price is an average after grant aid, not an individual quote or a guarantee of eligibility.

What are the work-study opportunities at Jackson College?

Jackson College students may be able to combine study with part-time employment, including Federal Work-Study if they qualify and positions are available. Work-Study is a form of financial aid earned through a job; it is not an automatic payment deducted from tuition or a guaranteed job offer.

Eligibility commonly depends on the FAFSA, financial need, and the college's available funding. Students should check their aid offer and the college's student-employment listings for openings, application instructions, and permitted hours. Ordinary part-time jobs do not require a Work-Study award, while internships may have separate academic or employer requirements. The college does not require an internship of every student.

For longer-term career planning, reported services include individual career counseling, career-interest assessment, résumé preparation, interview practice, a job bank, and job-placement assistance. These services can help students prepare and search, but they should not be confused with verified employment outcomes or a promise of placement.
