Morgan State University

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

For 2025-26, Morgan State's reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $8,229 for Maryland residents and $19,456 for out-of-state students. Those figures combine tuition with mandatory fees; they do not include living expenses, books, transportation, or personal costs.

• Maryland resident undergraduate tuition: $5,698, plus $2,531 in required fees.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $16,593, plus $2,531 in required fees.
• Reported typical room and board: $18,625 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $2,000.

Adding those reported categories produces $28,854 for a Maryland resident or $39,749 for an out-of-state student living under the stated room-and-board assumption. Neither subtotal is a complete individualized cost of attendance: transportation, personal expenses, and the student's actual housing choice can change the budget. Part-time and graduate students face different tuition structures.

Financial aid changes the amount a student ultimately pays, but loans must be repaid. In the reported aid data, 99% of students received some form of financial aid and 65% had student loans. Average net price also varied by family income; for families earning $48,000 or less, the reported figure was $13,420. Net price is an average after applicable grant aid, not a personal award estimate. Eligible students should submit the FAFSA, review Maryland and Morgan scholarship requirements, and compare their own aid offer against a full annual budget before accepting loans.

What are the work-study opportunities at Morgan State University?

Morgan State students can seek part-time work and career-development support, but a campus job is different from a Federal Work-Study award. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students; an award permits a student to earn wages through an approved job and does not itself place the student in a position. Other campus jobs may have separate hiring and funding rules.

Students interested in employment should check their financial-aid offer and the university's student-job listings for openings and application steps. Earnings depend on hours worked and the job's pay rate. An internship may provide career experience but is not necessarily a Work-Study position or a paid job.

Morgan's career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview workshops, a job bank, career fairs, and opportunities to connect with employers and alumni. These services can help with exploration and applications; they should not be interpreted as verified placement or employment guarantees.
