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

Post's 2024-25 institutional figures list average full-time undergraduate tuition of $15,616 and required fees of $306, with the same listed amounts for in-state and out-of-state students. Part-time undergraduate tuition is listed at $622 per credit. These reported averages should not be substituted for a current, program-specific bill: campus, online, and professional programs can have different published charges.

For context, the same reporting set lists typical annual room and board charges of $12,760 and books and supplies of $1,200. Adding those figures to the listed undergraduate tuition and fees yields $29,882 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific costs. That calculation is an illustration using 2024-25 figures, not the university's current official cost-of-attendance budget or a quote for every student.

Published charges and net price answer different questions. Net price reflects costs after grant aid for the students included in a reporting group, while loans still have to be repaid. In 2024-25 figures, 98% of students received financial aid and 81% had student loans. The average reported net price for families with incomes up to $48,000 was $20,586. Such averages are not individualized aid offers.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans through the FAFSA, as well as applicable state, institutional, and military education benefits. Before committing, request a current aid offer and cost estimate for your exact program and enrollment intensity, separating grants from loans and checking whether housing, travel, technology, or clinical expenses are included.

What are the work-study opportunities at Post University?

Post students may pursue part-time work while studying, but an ordinary student job is not the same thing as Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: eligibility depends on the aid process and available funding, and an award does not automatically provide a job.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and ask Post's financial aid office whether their award includes it, which positions are eligible, and how to apply. Other campus or local jobs may be available without a Work-Study award, but their hours and hiring requirements are set by the employer. Internships are different again: they may provide academic credit or career experience, and Post does not require an internship of every student.

Post reports career support for undergraduates that includes individual counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, and job fairs. Those services can support a search for work or an internship; they should not be mistaken for a placement guarantee.
