Loma Linda University

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

Loma Linda University's published costs require program-level checking. In the 2024-25 IPEDS figures, average full-time undergraduate tuition was $25,500, with $4,460 in required fees, for $29,960 in tuition and fees before living expenses or aid. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

• 2024-25 average full-time undergraduate tuition: $25,500.
• 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $4,460.
• 2024-25 average full-time graduate tuition: $30,000, plus $4,460 in reported required fees.
• 2024-25 part-time per-credit charges: $736 for undergraduates and $922 for graduate students.

These are reported averages, not a quote for every nursing, dental, medical, pharmacy, or other program. Professional programs can have distinct tuition structures and expenses for equipment, examinations, insurance, and clinical participation. Housing, food, books, transportation, and personal costs must also be added to make an individual annual budget.

Financial aid changes what a student ultimately pays. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $9,645, while 64% of students were reported as receiving student loans. Neither figure establishes an individual student's net price: an award offer and the intended program's current cost-of-attendance budget are needed for that calculation. Eligible students may pursue federal aid through the FAFSA, as well as applicable California, institutional, private, or military education benefits.

What are the work-study opportunities at Loma Linda University?

Loma Linda University students may seek part-time work alongside their studies, but a job and a financial-aid award are not the same thing. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, provides an opportunity to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill.

Students can ask financial aid and university employment offices about Work-Study eligibility, available positions, application steps, and whether a job fits clinical or class schedules. Ordinary campus jobs may have different eligibility rules. A paid position, a required clinical placement, and an internship should also be evaluated separately for compensation and academic credit.

Career development is often program-specific at a health-professions university. Students looking for resume advice, interview preparation, employer contacts, or guidance about licensure-related job searches should ask their school what advising and recruitment services it provides rather than assume that every program offers the same career-center services.
