What is the cost of studying for a year at Mid-Atlantic Christian University?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition at Mid-Atlantic Christian University was $16,200, with $1,080 in required fees. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. A reported annual room-and-board charge was $11,000; books, transportation, and personal expenses would add to a residential student's budget.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $16,200.
  • Required undergraduate fees: $1,080.
  • Reported annual room and board: $11,000.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition: $540 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

Those are published charges, not an individual student's final bill. Housing choices and course load affect charges, while grants and scholarships can reduce the amount a student pays. Reported average net prices after aid were $16,406 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $17,385 for those from families earning $48,001-$75,000. Net price is an average for a defined group, not a personalized quote; borrowing may cover a bill without reducing its underlying cost.

Students seeking aid should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and review the university's current scholarship and aid deadlines. Depending on eligibility, a package may include federal grants, North Carolina aid, institutional assistance, federal loans, or military education benefits. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 53% had student loans. An individual aid offer is the clearest basis for comparing MACU with another college.

What are the work-study opportunities at Mid-Atlantic Christian University?

Mid-Atlantic Christian University reports career support that includes individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, a job bank, job-interview opportunities, and assistance with placement and employer recruitment. It also reports an internship requirement for students, making the timing and placement of that experience a useful question within any proposed major.

Career services are not the same as a job offer. Students should ask how internship sites are approved, whether placements are paid, and how the requirement fits with an existing job or commuting schedule. These details may matter especially to adult learners and students who need predictable work hours.

Federal Work-Study, where included in an eligible student's aid package and supported by an available position, pays wages for work performed; it is not an automatic discount on tuition. Other campus jobs may have different eligibility and funding rules. Students should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study is offered in their package and where to find current student-job openings.
