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

Rocky Mountain College charges substantial published tuition, but a student's final cost depends on housing choices and financial aid. In the reported 2025-26 undergraduate figures, full-time tuition was $34,544 and required fees were $1,038, with the same amounts listed for in-state and out-of-state students.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $37,005 for the reported academic year.
  • Typical room and board charges: $10,152 combined.
  • Reported books and supplies: $1,400.

Those items total $47,134 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges; they are not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate. Aviation and other specialized programs may require a separate review of additional expenses. A student living off campus would have a different housing budget, not necessarily a lower total cost.

Grants can substantially change the amount paid. In the reported aid data, the average grant award among applicable undergraduate recipients was $27,380, while 55% of students in the measured group had student loans. Average net price also varied by family income: the reported figure was $13,781 for families earning up to $48,000 and $25,150 for those earning above $110,000. These are group averages, not individual offers. Students should compare their own aid letter against the college's current full cost-of-attendance budget and separate grants from loans and anticipated work earnings.

What are the work-study opportunities at Rocky Mountain College?

Rocky Mountain College students can explore student employment alongside financial aid and career services. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, is a way to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not a grant paid automatically or a guarantee of a job.

Applicants should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to be considered for federal need-based assistance and ask the financial aid office how available student jobs are posted. An ordinary campus job may be open to students without Work-Study eligibility, while internships have separate academic and employer requirements. The college does not report an internship requirement for every student.

Career services reported for undergraduates include individual and group career planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Those services can support a search for work or internships, but they are not employment outcomes or promises of placement.
