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

Peirce College reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students in 2024-25. Tuition was $14,400, with $660 in required fees; together, those published charges total $15,060 before books, transportation, living expenses, and aid.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $14,400.
  • Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $660.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $600 per credit hour.
  • Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,200.

The reported room-and-board amount of $9,200 should be understood as a living-cost estimate, not a charge for a Peirce residence hall. Adding only the listed tuition, fees, books, and living estimate would omit transportation and personal expenses, so it is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget.

Published charges differ from net price after grants and scholarships. In the cited financial-aid data, the average grant award to undergraduates was $6,101. An average is not an individual aid offer, and loans reduce what must be paid immediately without reducing the amount ultimately owed. Students should compare their own aid notice with a budget reflecting their credit load and housing arrangements.

What are the work-study opportunities at Peirce College?

Peirce students can use career services for help finding work and preparing for a job search. Reported services include individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview workshops, a job bank, employer recruitment, and alumni networking opportunities.

Federal Work-Study is different from a general part-time job: it is a need-based financial-aid program, and an eligible student must still obtain an available position and earn wages by working. Applicants interested in it should complete the FAFSA and ask Peirce's financial-aid office whether it appears in their aid package and how positions are advertised. An internship is another distinct form of experience; Peirce does not report requiring one of every student.
