For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $38,800, with $1,650 in required fees; the listed rates were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Typical annual room and board charges were $9,100, and estimated books and supplies were $1,300.
Adding those listed amounts produces $50,850 for tuition, required fees, room, board and books. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation and personal expenses can add to the budget, and a commuter's housing costs will differ. Graduate tuition, part-time enrollment and particular programs have different charges.
Published charges are also not what every student ultimately pays. Reported aid figures show that grant assistance is common, while 45% of students in the measured aid population received student loans. Average net prices vary by family income; one reported figure is $14,635 for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less. A net-price average is not an individual award. Applicants should compare the current-year cost estimate with their own aid offer, noting which amounts are grants, which are loans and which expenses remain out of pocket.
Students seeking paid work should distinguish an ordinary campus job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: eligibility depends on the student's aid determination, and an award ordinarily requires the student to find and perform an eligible job rather than receiving the full amount upfront.
Applicants interested in Work-Study should complete the financial-aid application process and ask Milligan's financial-aid office how eligible positions are posted. Students who do not receive Work-Study may still be able to seek other part-time work, subject to available openings and employer rules.
For career-related experience, Milligan reports access to a job bank, employer recruiting, career counseling, résumé help and interview preparation. An internship is not reported as a university-wide requirement; a particular major may nevertheless have its own fieldwork or clinical requirements.
