Lakeland University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $31,900, with $1,496 in required fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Those amounts are published prices before grants and scholarships, not a student's final bill.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $33,396 for 2024-25.
• Typical room and board charges: $13,880 for the academic year.
• Books and supplies estimate: $1,100.

Together, those reported items total $48,376 for an academic year. That is a partial attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and any applicable program charges can raise the full cost of attendance. A commuter's budget will differ from a resident's, while part-time and graduate students face different rates.

Financial aid can substantially change the amount paid. In the reported aid population, all students received some form of financial aid, and 45% had student loans; aid receipt does not mean all costs were covered. For families in the reported $0-$48,000 income group, average net price was $22,030. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid, not after loans are subtracted. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review Lakeland's institutional scholarship requirements, any applicable Wisconsin aid, and their individual offer before comparing colleges. Borrowing remains a repayment obligation, even when it reduces the amount due immediately.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lakeland University?

Lakeland students can explore paid work alongside study and use career services to prepare for employment. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, is different from an ordinary part-time job: it provides a way to earn wages through approved employment, rather than a grant paid in full at the start of a term.

Students should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for Work-Study, where approved positions are posted, and how hiring works; an award does not itself secure a job. Campus employment and work-connected academic experiences should likewise be assessed separately for pay, credit, scheduling, and eligibility.

Reported career-center services include individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruiting, job fairs, and opportunities to connect with alumni. These are services students can use, not verified placement outcomes. Lakeland does not report an internship requirement for every undergraduate, so students seeking one should check their major's curriculum and available placements.
