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

Historical 2024-25 figures for Northcentral University list the same tuition for in-state and out-of-state students. They are useful context, not a current National University price quote: tuition and fee schedules may differ by program and by the institution under which a student enrolls.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $11,064, plus $1,530 in required fees for 2024-25.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition: $461 per credit hour for 2024-25.
  • Full-time graduate tuition: $16,794, plus $1,204 in required fees for 2024-25.
  • Part-time graduate tuition: $933 per credit hour for 2024-25.

Tuition and required fees are not a complete cost of attendance. Students may also need to budget for books, technology, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses, even when all instruction is online. The actual amount owed depends on the current program's credit requirements, pace, additional charges, and aid eligibility. Historical undergraduate aid figures show an average grant award of $4,048 and student loans for 45% of students; neither figure predicts an individual applicant's award. Eligible students can ask National University's financial aid office about the FAFSA, federal grants and loans, institutional aid, and military or veteran education benefits.

What are the work-study opportunities at Northcentral University?

Online study can offer scheduling flexibility for people who already work, but it does not itself provide a paid job. Applicants should distinguish ordinary employment, an academic internship, and Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based federal aid program involving paid work for eligible students.

Students interested in Federal Work-Study should ask National University's financial aid office whether their program and enrollment status qualify, whether they have been offered a work-study award, and how eligible positions are advertised. An award is not a guarantee of a position or of earnings. For career development, students should separately check the current availability of career advising, résumé review, job-search tools, and field-specific placement support.
