Mount St. Joseph University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Mount St. Joseph University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Mount St. Joseph University was $36,950, with $1,200 in required fees. The same reported tuition and fees applied to in-state and out-of-state students. These are published charges before grants and scholarships, not an individual student's final bill.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $38,150.
• Reported room and board for an academic year: $12,130.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,200.

Adding those reported categories yields $51,480, but that subtotal is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges may add to it. A commuter's housing and food budget will differ from a resident's. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $625 per credit hour; graduate and specialized-program charges follow different schedules.

Financial aid can substantially change the amount a student pays. In the reported aid figures, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 54% had student loans. Average net prices also varied by family income: the reported average was $12,602 for families earning no more than $48,000 and $21,682 for families earning above $110,000. Net price incorporates aid and estimated attendance costs; neither average is a personal quote. Students should compare their own aid offer with a current, itemized cost estimate before deciding how much to borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Mount St. Joseph University?

Students seeking paid work while enrolled can ask Mount St. Joseph University's financial aid office about Federal Work-Study and the offices that hire student employees. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students with qualifying jobs; an award generally sets an earnings limit rather than reducing the tuition bill automatically.

Other campus jobs may be available without a Work-Study award. In either case, students ordinarily apply for positions, work scheduled hours, and receive wages. An internship is different: it may be paid or unpaid and may carry academic credit, depending on the employer and program. Students should check a job's weekly schedule against class, commuting, and clinical-placement commitments.

The university reports career support that includes individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest assessment, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. Those services can help students explore work and internships, but their availability should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome.
