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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $16,344, with $2,120 in required fees, for a combined published charge of $18,464. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. This is a tuition-and-fees figure, not a complete annual budget.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $18,464.
  • Reported room and board allowance: $12,000 for an academic year.
  • Reported books and supplies amount: $200.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $681 per credit hour; applicable fees can add to the bill.

Combining the listed tuition and fees, room and board, and books produces $30,664 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges. It is a limited illustration, not a complete official cost of attendance or a bill every student receives. Most reported students commute, so their housing, food, and travel budgets may differ substantially.

Financial aid changes what a student ultimately pays. In the reported 2024-25 aid figures, 93% of students received financial aid and 44% had student loans. The average net price for families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $13,671; net price estimates for other income groups differ and are not personalized offers. Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, New York State aid, institutional scholarships, and qualifying military or veterans' benefits. Filing the FAFSA and reviewing Monroe's current award letter will give an applicant a clearer estimate than subtracting an average grant from the published price.

What are the work-study opportunities at Monroe University?

Monroe University students can pursue career preparation through its career services, while eligible students may also seek paid work during college. These are related but different opportunities: a job provides wages, an internship provides field experience under its own terms, and Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job rather than a grant paid upfront.

Reported career-center services include individual counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking. An internship is not reported as a university-wide graduation requirement, though an individual program may require practical experience. Students interested in Federal Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, check whether it appears in their aid offer, and ask financial aid or student employment staff how available positions are posted. An award does not itself assign a job or guarantee earnings.
