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

IPEDS reports the following 2024-25 graduate tuition figures for Meridian University. These are tuition figures, not a complete annual budget:

  • Full-time graduate tuition: $21,632 for the academic year, for both in-state and out-of-state students.
  • Reported required graduate fees: $0.
  • Part-time graduate tuition: $676 per credit hour, for both in-state and out-of-state students.

A student's actual cost depends on program credits, enrollment pace, and expenses such as books, technology, travel, housing, and any program-specific requirements. Before accepting an offer, request a cost estimate for the entire degree, including any required in-person attendance or supervised training. The published tuition is not the same as the amount a student pays after applicable aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Meridian University?

Prospective Meridian students should distinguish three possible ways to combine work and study: keeping an outside job, taking a student job, and receiving Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is financial aid earned through approved employment rather than a grant paid upfront or a guarantee of a position.

Graduate applicants should ask the financial aid office whether their program and aid package permit Work-Study and how approved jobs are posted. They should also ask their program how class meetings and required fieldwork fit around employment; a flexible course schedule does not necessarily make clinical placements flexible.
