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

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Pacific States University listed the same full-time tuition and required fees for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates: $7,890 combined. Graduate students had the same reported full-time tuition-and-fee total. This is a published education charge, not a complete estimate of living expenses.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $7,200; required fees: $690.
  • Full-time graduate tuition: $7,200; required fees: $690.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition: $200 per credit hour.
  • Part-time graduate tuition: $300 per credit hour.

Students must also budget for books and supplies, transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses. Because the institution does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing, an individual's rent and commuting choices may materially change the annual total. Part-time students should request a term-by-term bill rather than applying the full-time figure to their schedule.

Published tuition is also different from a student's eventual out-of-pocket cost. Before enrolling, obtain a current tuition schedule, a list of mandatory charges, and a personalized aid determination; do not assume that the 2024-25 figures remain in effect for a later term.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pacific States University?

Pacific States University students considering employment should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study, a need-based financial-aid program with its own eligibility rules. Enrollment alone does not establish eligibility for a Work-Study award or secure a position.

Ask the financial-aid office whether the university currently participates in Federal Work-Study, how eligible students are notified of an award, and where approved jobs are posted. For other campus jobs, ask individual offices about openings and scheduling expectations. An internship may provide career experience, but it is not necessarily paid employment or part of a financial-aid award.

The institution reports career resources that include résumé preparation, interview workshops, individual career counseling, and individual job-placement assistance for undergraduates. These services can support a job search; they are not employment outcomes or job offers.
