What is the cost of studying for a year at San Diego Global Knowledge University?

For 2024-25, San Diego Global Knowledge University reported the same full-time tuition and required fees for in-state and out-of-state students. Its published undergraduate tuition and required fees total $13,774 for the academic year; that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $10,320; required fees: $3,454.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition: $320 per credit hour.
  • Full-time graduate tuition: $9,720; required fees: $1,695.
  • Part-time graduate tuition: $540 per credit hour.

The graduate tuition-and-fee figures add to $11,415, but a student's actual bill depends on their program, credit load and applicable charges. Books, technology, housing, food, transportation and personal expenses also affect the annual budget. The amount a student ultimately pays may differ after eligible grants or other assistance; applicants should obtain a current, itemized estimate for their specific program rather than treating tuition alone as the total price.

What are the work-study opportunities at San Diego Global Knowledge University?

Students interested in working while enrolled should distinguish a regular part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based federal aid that requires eligible employment and an aid award; ordinary employment does not require a Work-Study award and is not automatically arranged by the university.

Ask the financial aid office whether the intended program and student qualify for Work-Study, and where eligible positions are posted. For career-related work, also ask the program how internships or outside employment can fit around its course schedule. An internship, a paid student job and an aid award serve different purposes and may have different eligibility rules.
