John Paul the Great Catholic University

What is the cost of studying for a year at John Paul the Great Catholic University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for California and out-of-state students: $29,400, plus $865 in required fees. Tuition and fees are only part of an annual budget; housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses may add substantially to what a student needs.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $29,400.
• 2024-25 required fees: $865.
• Reported annual room and board: $12,173.
• Reported books and supplies: $311.

Adding those reported categories produces $42,749, before transportation and personal expenses. This is a calculation from the listed 2024-25 figures, not a complete, personalized cost-of-attendance quote. A student living elsewhere or choosing a different food arrangement could face different expenses. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $817 per credit hour.

Financial aid can lower the amount a student pays, but grants and loans should not be treated alike: grants generally do not require repayment, while loans generally do. Reported average net prices varied by family income; for families earning $48,000 or less, the figure was $35,037. An average is not an aid offer, and that figure warrants particular attention from lower-income applicants comparing colleges. Reported undergraduate grant aid averaged $15,479, while 53% of students had student loans. Applicants should compare their own aid offer and full-year budget, not subtract an institution-wide average grant from the published price and assume the result is theirs.

What are the work-study opportunities at John Paul the Great Catholic University?

Student employment and career preparation are related but different at John Paul the Great Catholic University. A campus job can provide wages while a student is enrolled; an internship may provide academic or professional experience; career services help with the search for opportunities. None should be assumed to cover the cost of attendance.

Students should ask the financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study appears in their individual aid offer and, if so, how eligible jobs are posted. Federal Work-Study generally requires financial-need eligibility and pays students for hours worked; it is not a grant paid in advance. Students without a Work-Study award can ask whether other campus jobs are open to them.

Reported career services include individual and group career planning for undergraduates, résumé help, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, employer recruitment, and an alumni networking and mentoring program. These are services and opportunities, not verified job-placement outcomes or a guarantee of an internship.
