Pacific Oaks College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Pacific Oaks College?

For 2024-25, Pacific Oaks College reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $32,040 plus $480 in required fees, for $32,520 before living and other expenses. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Graduate full-time tuition was reported as $21,780 plus $480 in required fees.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $32,520.
• 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition and required fees: $22,260.
• 2024-25 part-time tuition: $890 per undergraduate credit or $1,210 per graduate credit, before applicable fees.

Those amounts are published academic charges, not a complete annual cost of attendance. A student's budget may also include books, supplies, transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses; field placements can add travel or scheduling costs. The college does not provide student housing, so living costs depend heavily on individual arrangements. Financial aid can reduce the amount paid out of pocket, while loans must generally be repaid. One reported undergraduate grant-aid average for 2024-25 was $6,415, but an average is not an individual award. Applicants should use a current, program-specific cost-of-attendance budget and aid offer rather than combining figures from different academic years.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pacific Oaks College?

Students considering part-time work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from ordinary employment. Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's financial aid offer, generally allows earnings through an approved job; it is not a tuition discount or money automatically paid in full at the start of a term.

Job availability, eligibility, and permitted hours depend on the student's circumstances and the positions offered. Students can ask Pacific Oaks financial aid staff how Work-Study eligibility is determined and where approved openings are posted. Separately, the college reports career resources such as individual undergraduate career counseling, résumé help, career-interest testing, and interview workshops. Those services can support a job search but do not constitute an offer of employment or an internship requirement for every student.
