Marian University is a private institution, so its reported full-time undergraduate tuition does not differ for Wisconsin residents and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, reported undergraduate tuition was $34,650, with $554 in required fees.
Adding those figures gives $47,382 for tuition, required fees, room and board, and books. That is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and costs specific to a course or program may add to it. The room-and-board figure is relevant to a student using that housing and dining assumption, not necessarily to a commuter. Published tuition can also change after the reporting year.
Financial aid changes what an individual pays. In the reported aid figures, average net price was $13,638 for students from families earning $48,000 or less and $27,106 for those from families earning more than $110,000. Those are averages for defined aid-reporting groups, not price quotes. Grant and scholarship aid can reduce costs; loans generally must be repaid. Marian reports substantial grant aid, but also reports that 78% of the measured students had student loans. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and compare their own aid offer with the full estimated cost, including expenses outside the tuition bill.
Students considering part-time work at Marian University should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary campus job. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program for eligible students with an applicable award; it usually pays wages for hours worked rather than reducing a tuition bill automatically.
Students should check their financial aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and ask how Marian posts and fills student positions. A student without a Work-Study award may still be able to apply for jobs that use other funding, depending on openings and employer rules. Work schedules should be assessed against class times, transportation, and any clinical, fieldwork, or student-teaching obligations.
Marian's career services include job-search assistance, résumé and interview support, and employer-facing opportunities. An internship may be valuable for career exploration, but it is not the same as Federal Work-Study, and Marian does not report a university-wide internship requirement for every student.
