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

For 2024-25, Life Pacific University reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $21,168 and required fees of $950 for both California residents and out-of-state students. Together, those published charges amount to $22,118 before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $22,118 for 2024-25.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $12,150.
• Reported books and supplies cost: $800.

Adding those three reported components produces $35,068, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation and personal expenses can add substantially to a student's budget. Housing and food costs may also differ for students who live off campus or commute. Part-time undergraduates were charged a reported $882 per credit hour; graduate tuition and fees follow different rates.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In 2024-25 reporting, average net price varied by family income: it was $18,984 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $25,877 for those above $110,000. These are averages for defined groups, not individualized aid quotes. All students in the reported aid measure received some form of financial aid, while 66% received student loans; a loan reduces the amount due now but must generally be repaid. Eligible students may consider federal grants and loans, California aid where applicable, institutional scholarships, and military education benefits. Filing the FAFSA and reviewing the university's current scholarship and aid deadlines are necessary steps toward an individual estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Life Pacific University?

Students seeking part-time work should distinguish a Federal Work-Study award from a campus job. Work-Study is need-based federal financial aid that must appear in an eligible student's aid offer; it is generally earned through paid work rather than credited in full to a bill at the start of a term.

Students can ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study positions are offered for their term, how jobs are posted, and whether an award is required before applying. Ordinary campus employment may have different eligibility and funding rules. The university does not require an internship of every student, so applicants seeking career-related experience should ask their academic program which placements, supervised projects, or employment options can count toward degree requirements.
