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

Park University's reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition was $11,018, with $1,098 in required fees, for $12,116 before living expenses. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. Students should confirm current charges for their campus, program, and enrollment load rather than use this earlier-year figure as a present-day bill.

  • Reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $12,116.
  • Reported typical academic-year room charge: $5,700.
  • Reported typical academic-year board charge: $4,850.

Together, those reported tuition, fee, room, and board amounts total $22,666 for the same reporting year. That is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: books, supplies, transportation, and personal expenses can add to the budget, while a commuter's living costs will differ from residence-hall charges. Part-time and graduate students also use different pricing schedules.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In 2024-25, 94% of students were reported as receiving financial aid, and 31% had student loans. Eligible students may pursue federal and state aid, institutional scholarships, and military education benefits. The FAFSA and Park's financial aid instructions are the practical starting points; an individual aid offer is more useful than an institution-wide average when deciding whether enrollment is affordable.

What are the work-study opportunities at Park University?

Park students can explore part-time employment alongside their studies, but a job should not be assumed to be part of an aid offer. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, is a need-based aid program in which wages are earned through qualifying work; it is not a grant paid upfront toward tuition.

Students can ask Park's financial aid office whether they qualify for Work-Study and where approved positions are posted. They should check hours, location, and scheduling before accepting a role. Ordinary campus jobs and internships may have different eligibility rules, and an internship is not required of every Park student. Park's career services can also help with job searches, résumé preparation, interviews, and employer contacts.
