Middle Georgia State University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Middle Georgia State University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $5,038 for Georgia residents: $4,176 in tuition plus $862 in fees. The comparable out-of-state amount is $16,390, including the same reported fee amount. Residency classification therefore has a large effect on the published price.

Tuition and fees are not the full cost of attendance. A separate reported typical academic-year room charge is $6,900, with $3,900 for board; books and supplies are estimated at $1,000. Students also need to budget for transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges. Because published estimates and actual housing or meal choices can differ, those figures should not be treated as a single guaranteed bill.

Financial aid changes the amount many students ultimately pay. In the reported aid data, 90% of students received some form of financial aid and 33% had student loans. Average net price - an estimate after grant and scholarship aid, not after loans - varied by family income: it was $10,920 for families earning up to $48,000 and $16,762 for families earning more than $110,000. An individual offer can differ substantially.

Eligible students can seek federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, along with applicable Georgia aid such as HOPE or Zell Miller and MGA scholarships. State-award residency and academic rules differ from federal need-based rules. Veterans and eligible family members should confirm how military education benefits interact with their other aid. MGA's current cost-of-attendance budget and a personalized aid offer are more useful than tuition alone when comparing colleges.

What are the work-study opportunities at Middle Georgia State University?

MGA students can seek part-time work and career support, but Federal Work-Study, an ordinary student job, and a degree-related internship are different opportunities. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students with a qualifying job; an award does not itself place a student in a position or provide wages before hours are worked.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and follow MGA's student-employment application process. Other campus jobs may have different eligibility and funding rules. In either case, working hours need to fit around classes, especially in programs with laboratories, flight training, or clinical placements.

MGA's career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Students can also use alumni networking and mentoring opportunities. Those services can support an internship or job search, but availability of counseling or an interview does not establish an employment outcome.
