Johnson College

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

For 2024-25, Johnson College reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $18,900 and required fees of $2,325 for both Pennsylvania and out-of-state students. Together, those published charges come to $21,225 before books, supplies, transportation, living expenses, and any program-specific costs.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $18,900.
• Required full-time undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $2,325.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $580 per credit.

Tuition and fees are not the same as a full cost of attendance. A student budgeting for a technical program should account for possible tools, uniforms, protective equipment, commuting, and off-campus housing as applicable. They should use the college's current program cost information rather than add expenses from a different academic year to the 2024-25 figures.

Financial aid can lower the amount a student pays, but grants and loans work differently. In 2024-25 reporting, 95% of students received financial aid, while 78% had student loans. The average grant amount reported for undergraduate recipients was $8,720; it is not an award that every applicant receives. For students from families earning $0-$48,000, the reported average net price was $17,553. Net price is an average after grant aid, not a personalized bill, so applicants should compare their own aid offer with the full cost of attendance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Johnson College?

Students looking for paid work while attending Johnson College should distinguish ordinary part-time employment, any available student jobs, and Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: an eligible student earns wages by working approved hours rather than receiving the entire award as an upfront tuition discount.

Eligibility for federal aid generally begins with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. A Work-Study award, where available, does not by itself secure a position; students must follow the college's job-search and hiring process. Before relying on wages to cover expenses, applicants should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study funding and suitable positions are available for their term and campus.

Career development is a related but separate service. Johnson College reports access to counseling, job fairs, on-campus employer recruitment, a job bank, and interview preparation. Those resources can support a search for work or an internship without making the position part of a federal aid award.
