What is the cost of studying for a year at Pacific Rim Christian University?

For 2024-25, Pacific Rim Christian University reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students: $13,080, plus $500 in required fees. These are published charges, not an individualized bill or a complete annual cost of attendance.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $13,080 for 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees: $500 for 2024-25.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $545 per credit hour for 2024-25.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $13,410, plus $300 in required fees, for 2024-25.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $745 per credit hour for 2024-25.

Housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses can increase the amount a student needs for the year. They should not be folded into tuition or counted twice when comparing a university cost-of-attendance estimate with a housing quote.

Financial aid changes the picture, but aid is not synonymous with a discount: loans must generally be repaid. In 2024-25, 93% of students received financial aid, and 46% had student loans. The reported average grant aid awarded to undergraduates was $6,749. Applicants should complete the required aid applications and compare their own grant, scholarship, and loan offers against a single, same-year cost estimate.

For students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $23,614. Net price is a historical average cost after grant and scholarship aid, not a price quote for an individual student. Differences in living arrangements, enrollment level, and aid eligibility can produce a substantially different result.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pacific Rim Christian University?

Students hoping to work while attending Pacific Rim Christian University should distinguish a paid job from an aid award or an academic internship. Even when student employment is included in a financial-aid package, wages ordinarily depend on obtaining a position and working the hours; they are not an upfront reduction in the tuition bill.

Applicants interested in Federal Work-Study should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify, how positions are posted, and whether funding remains for their enrollment period. Students seeking ministry-related work should also clarify whether a proposed placement is paid employment, volunteer service, or a credit-bearing experience, since each has different financial and academic implications.
