Mount Mary University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $34,690, with $730 in required fees, for a published tuition-and-fee total of $35,420. The reported figures were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition is a starting price, not an individualized bill after grants and scholarships.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees: $35,420 for 2024-25.
• Typical room and board: $10,720 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $600.

Adding those three reported categories produces $46,740 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs. It is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget, and students living off campus may have a different housing budget. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $600 per credit; graduate tuition and fees follow a different schedule.

Grant aid changes the picture, but it varies by student. Reported average grant aid for undergraduates was $26,155, while reported average net prices by family-income band ranged from $19,013 for the lowest listed band to $27,371 for families above $110,000. A net price is an average after applicable grant aid, not a quote for an applicant. Mount Mary reported aid receipt for all students in the measured aid group, but 63% also had student loans. An individualized aid offer and a full expense budget are needed to judge affordability.

What are the work-study opportunities at Mount Mary University?

Student employment can help cover expenses, but a job is different from a grant or scholarship: students must work to earn the wages. Applicants interested in Federal Work-Study should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and check their Mount Mary aid offer to see whether they qualify; an offer of Work-Study does not itself place a student in a job.

Ask the financial aid office how eligible students find and apply for available positions, whether any approved off-campus jobs participate, and how earnings are paid. Students can also seek ordinary part-time work without a Work-Study award. For career-related work, an academic department or career-services office can clarify the distinction among a paid campus job, an internship for credit, and a required professional placement.
