What is the cost of studying for a year at Miles College?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, published full-time undergraduate tuition at Miles College was $11,764, with $1,550 in required fees. The listed tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students, putting tuition and required fees at $13,524 before living expenses.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $13,524 for the academic year.
  • Typical room charge: $4,600; typical board charge: $4,066.
  • Reported books and supplies allowance: $400.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $490 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

Adding the listed tuition and fees, typical room and board, and books allowance produces $22,380. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and any other applicable charges also matter. A commuter's costs will differ from a resident's, and current charges may differ from the reported year.

Published charges are also different from net price, which accounts for grant and scholarship aid. In the same institutional data, the average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 was $13,677. That is a group average, not an individualized aid offer. In 2024-25, 88% of students received financial aid, while 73% had student loans; borrowing is financing that generally must be repaid, not a discount on the bill.

Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, applicable state assistance, institutional scholarships, and military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing Miles's current scholarship rules are practical steps toward an individualized estimate. Students comparing offers should separate grants from loans and check whether aid renews in later years.

What are the work-study opportunities at Miles College?

Miles students can seek employment and career support while enrolled, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and an internship are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that permits eligible students to earn wages through qualifying jobs; an award does not itself guarantee a position or pay tuition upfront.

Students interested in work-study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how available positions are posted and filled. Other part-time jobs may have different eligibility rules and may not be funded through work-study.

For career development, reported Miles services include individual career counseling, résumé help, a job bank, job fairs, employer recruitment, and access to job interviews. These are resources for exploring careers and applying for positions, not verified placement outcomes. Students seeking experience in a particular field should ask their department whether internships are available for credit or help satisfy major requirements; an internship is not an institution-wide graduation requirement.
