Randolph-Macon College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Randolph-Macon College?

Randolph-Macon charges private-college tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $47,666, with $1,800 in required fees.

• Tuition and required fees: $49,466.
• Typical room and board: $14,980.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,000.

Those reported items total $65,446 for an academic year. They do not include every potential expense, such as transportation, personal spending, or program-specific costs, and they should not be treated as the college's complete cost-of-attendance budget. Housing and dining charges depend on the arrangements a student selects.

The amount a student pays can be substantially different from the published price. In the reported aid data, average net price after grant aid was $20,983 for students from families with annual incomes up to $48,000 and $32,226 for those from families above $110,000. These are averages for groups, not individual quotes. All students in the reported aid measure received some form of financial aid, while 57% had student loans; aid can therefore lower an upfront bill without eliminating future repayment. Prospective students should compare their own aid offer and its renewal conditions with a full annual expense estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Randolph-Macon College?

Students can pursue part-time employment while attending Randolph-Macon, but a student job should not be assumed to cover tuition or other major expenses. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, provides an opportunity to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not money automatically deducted from a bill.

Eligibility for Federal Work-Study generally depends on the financial aid application and available funding. Students who do not receive it may still be able to apply for other campus jobs. Career-related experiences are another category: Randolph-Macon offers career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment, and a job bank. An internship is not required of every student, and an unpaid or credit-bearing internship should not be mistaken for a paid work-study position.
