Mount St. Mary's University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Mount St. Mary's University?

Mount St. Mary's is a private university, so its reported 2024-25 undergraduate tuition did not differ for Maryland and out-of-state students. Published tuition was $47,000 for a full-time undergraduate, with $1,630 in required fees. Those charges are the starting point for a budget, not necessarily the amount a student will pay after aid.

• Reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $48,630.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $15,540; actual housing and meal-plan choices can affect the bill.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $950, before transportation and personal expenses.

Adding those reported amounts produces $65,120 before transportation and personal expenses. Students should not treat that subtotal as a complete cost-of-attendance estimate or combine it with charges from another academic year. The university's current aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget are the documents to use for a personal comparison.

Grant aid can substantially change the price, but loans must generally be repaid. In the reported aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 51% had student loans. Average net price also varied by family income: it was $20,067 for the lowest reported income band and $31,330 for families above $110,000. Those averages do not specify any one applicant's award. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Maryland aid, institutional scholarships and, where applicable, military education benefits; application requirements differ by program.

What are the work-study opportunities at Mount St. Mary's University?

Students can pursue part-time work alongside study, but an on-campus job should not be assumed as part of an admission or financial-aid offer. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, provides access to qualifying paid employment; it is not a grant credited in full to the tuition bill.

Ordinary student jobs may have different eligibility rules from Federal Work-Study positions. Applicants who need employment income should ask the financial-aid office how work-study eligibility is determined and where openings are posted, then consider available hours against their course schedule and transportation needs.

For longer-term career preparation, students should seek the university's current career-service offerings, including help with career exploration, applications, internships and employer connections. An internship, a campus job and Federal Work-Study can each provide experience, but they have different academic, hiring and aid rules. None should be read as a verified postgraduation employment outcome.
