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

For 2024-25, North American University reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $14,736 and required fees of $700, the same reported amounts for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition plus those fees was $15,436 before living expenses, books and other costs.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $15,436 for 2024-25.
  • Reported books and supplies cost: $1,122.
  • Reported room and board charge: $8,800; this figure should not be taken as a guarantee of a particular housing or meal arrangement.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition charge: $614 per credit hour.

Adding the reported tuition, fees, books and room-and-board figures produces $25,358, but that is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses and a student's actual housing costs can change the total. Part-time students should not apply the full-time tuition figure to a lighter course load without checking how their charges are calculated.

Financial aid can make the amount a student pays different from the published price. In the reported aid data, 98% of students received financial aid and 33% had student loans. The reported average grant aid from federal, state, local, institutional or other sources was $14,020; an average is not an individual award. For families with annual income of $0-$48,000, the reported average net price was $17,784. Net price is an average cost after grant and scholarship aid, not a quoted bill or a loan amount. Applicants should compare their own aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget, including any federal, state, institutional or military benefits for which they qualify.

What are the work-study opportunities at North American University?

North American University students can use career services to explore employment, but a career-center opportunity is not the same thing as a Federal Work-Study award. Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, generally provides a way to earn wages through an approved job; it is not money automatically deducted from a tuition bill.

NAU reports résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest testing, job fairs and referrals to employers. It also reports individual career counseling for undergraduates and opportunities for alumni networking. Students seeking paid work should ask the financial aid office which employment options apply to their aid eligibility, then ask the career center how to find openings and whether a position is on campus, with an outside employer or connected to an internship. Internship credit and wages should be confirmed separately.
