Pontifical College Josephinum

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

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students at Pontifical College Josephinum. Tuition and mandatory fees are only part of a student's annual cost: housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses also matter.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $30,000.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,553.
• Undergraduate tuition and required fees combined: $31,553, before living and other expenses.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $32,892, with $1,553 in required fees.

These are published charges, not an individual net price. Reported aid figures indicate that 25% of students received financial aid, while 22% had student loans; the average grant award to undergraduate recipients was $3,600. Those figures do not tell a particular applicant what assistance they will receive. Applicants should obtain a current, itemized estimate that identifies room and meals, specifies any support from a sponsoring diocese or religious community, and distinguishes grants from loans. Eligible students can also ask the financial aid office how to apply for federal, state, institutional, or military education benefits.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pontifical College Josephinum?

Students interested in paid work should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through approved employment; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term.

Because the Josephinum's residential formation schedule can limit when a student is available to work, applicants should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for work-study, what positions are offered, and whether outside employment requires formation approval. The college reports individual and group career counseling for full-time undergraduates. Counseling about academic or vocational plans should not be confused with a promise of a job or an internship placement.
