Minerva University

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

Minerva's published price includes more than tuition, and its multi-city model adds expenses that a single-campus estimate may not capture. For the 2025-26 IPEDS reporting period, full-time undergraduate tuition was $21,630 and required fees were $2,000, with the same reported amounts for in-state and out-of-state students.

• 2025-26 reported undergraduate tuition and required fees: $26,800.
• Reported typical academic-year room charge: $18,400.
• Combined tuition, required fees, and room charge: $42,030, before meals and other expenses.

The combined figure is not a complete annual cost of attendance. Students must also budget for food, books or supplies, personal spending, transportation, and travel between residential cities. They should use the university's cost estimate for their own entering year rather than add a housing charge from one year to tuition advertised for another.

Financial aid changes what an individual student ultimately pays. In the reported aid figures, 81% of students received financial aid, and undergraduate grant recipients were awarded an average of $19,277 across reported grant sources. An average grant is not an offer to every applicant, and it cannot be subtracted from the published price to calculate a particular family's net cost. A personalized aid offer and a city-by-city travel budget are more useful for that purpose.

What are the work-study opportunities at Minerva University?

Minerva students can pursue career development while studying, but a paid part-time job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Applicants should verify which student jobs are available in their assigned residential cities and whether they are eligible for any federally funded work program.

Federal Work-Study, where an institution offers it to an eligible student, is aid earned through an approved job; it is not money automatically deducted from the tuition bill. Minerva's reported aid figures show no students using student loans in the measured category, but that statistic does not establish work-study eligibility. International students also need to consider the work restrictions attached to their immigration status in each location.

Career support reported for undergraduates includes individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview workshops, career-interest assessment, a job bank, employer recruitment, and opportunities to connect with alumni. These services can help students explore and apply for opportunities; they are not a guarantee of an internship or job offer.
