What is the cost of studying for a year at Saint Peter's University?

For the reported 2024-25 academic year, full-time undergraduate tuition at Saint Peter's University was $41,152, with $1,400 in required fees. The resulting published tuition-and-fees figure was $42,552, with the same reported tuition for in-state and out-of-state students.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $42,552 for 2024-25.
  • Typical room and board charges: $19,190 for the reported academic year.
  • Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,000.

Those items total $62,742, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation and personal expenses, among other possible costs, have not been added. Commuters and residents will have different budgets, and graduate or part-time charges follow different schedules.

Published price is also different from net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported financial-aid data, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 29% had student loans; aid is not necessarily a grant. The average net price for families with annual income of $48,001-$75,000 was $9,952. That is a group average, not an offer to an individual family. Eligible students should review federal and New Jersey grant programs, institutional scholarships, and loan terms through their own aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Saint Peter's University?

Saint Peter's University students can pursue part-time work and use career services, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are three different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that permits eligible students to earn wages through approved jobs; an award is not money automatically deducted from tuition.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the required financial-aid application, review their award notice, and ask how available positions are posted and filled. Other campus jobs may have different eligibility rules. In either case, weekly hours and earnings depend on the position and the student's circumstances.

For career development, reported services include individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings and fairs, employer recruitment, and opportunities to connect with alumni. These services can help students explore occupations and apply for internships or jobs; they should not be confused with verified placement or salary outcomes. An internship is not reported as a university-wide graduation requirement, though an individual major may require one.
