Muskingum University

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

Muskingum's reported 2024-25 undergraduate tuition was $30,894 for full-time students, with $807 in required fees; the listed amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees therefore totaled $31,701 before housing, meals and other expenses.

• Reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $31,701.
• Reported annual room and board charges: $13,292.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,100.

Adding those listed amounts gives $46,093, but that is not a complete individual cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses and program-specific charges may add to the total. Students living at home will have a different housing budget, though commuting still has costs. Figures published for another academic year should not be combined with these amounts as though they were one annual bill.

Published charges are also different from net price, which reflects grant and scholarship aid. Reported average net price was $14,479 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $23,493 for those from families earning above $110,000. Those income-band averages are not personalized aid offers. Aid figures show substantial grant assistance - an average undergraduate grant award of $23,180 - but also widespread borrowing, with 81% of students in the reported aid measure receiving student loans. Applicants should compare their own aid offer, especially grants versus repayable loans, against the full annual budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Muskingum University?

Muskingum students may be able to combine part-time employment with financial aid and career preparation, but these are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students; it generally requires a qualifying financial aid application and an available job. A work-study award is an opportunity to earn wages through work, not money automatically deducted from a tuition bill.

Students can ask the financial aid office how campus jobs are advertised, whether positions are limited to work-study recipients and whether approved off-campus roles are offered. Ordinary part-time employment may be available without Federal Work-Study eligibility, but its wages and scheduling depend on the employer.

For career development, Muskingum reports offering individual and group career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, job listings, job fairs, employer recruitment and alumni networking. Students seeking an internship should check their major's requirements: an internship is not required of every Muskingum student, and a career-services appointment is not a guarantee of employment.
