What is the cost of studying for a year at Lincoln University-California?

For 2024-25, Lincoln University-California reported $12,600 in annual full-time undergraduate tuition plus $550 in required fees, or $13,150 before living and other expenses. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $525 per credit hour.

  • Full-time graduate tuition: $10,710, plus $550 in required fees, for 2024-25.
  • Part-time graduate tuition: $595 per credit hour for 2024-25.
  • Reported room-and-board estimate: $8,100; this is a budgeting figure, not a charge for university housing.
  • Reported books-and-supplies estimate: $400.

For illustration, adding the undergraduate tuition and fees to those room-and-board and book estimates produces $21,650. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, possible program costs and individual housing choices can raise or lower a student's budget. The final amount a student pays also depends on eligible aid. The 2024-25 figures should not be treated as a quote for a later academic year.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lincoln University-California?

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should distinguish a regular part-time job from Federal Work-Study, a need-based financial-aid program that pays eligible students for work performed. A Work-Study award, if offered, is not cash paid automatically at the start of a term; the student must generally obtain a qualifying job and work scheduled hours.

Ask Lincoln's financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study is offered for the relevant year, how eligibility is determined and where approved positions are posted. Separately, the university reports undergraduate access to individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation and job fairs. Those career services may support a job search, but they are not themselves a student-employment award or a job offer.
