For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at South University-Virginia Beach was $17,100, with $795 in required fees, for $17,895 before books and living expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $17,100 for the reported academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $795 for the reported academic year.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $540.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $16,056, plus $555 in reported required fees; part-time graduate tuition was $669 per credit hour.

Those figures do not constitute a complete annual cost of attendance. A student may also need to budget for housing, food, transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific materials or clinical requirements. Do not add a room-and-board charge as though the university were billing for a residence hall: the campus does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing.

Financial aid can change the amount a student ultimately pays, but borrowing must be repaid. In the 2024-25 data, the reported average net price was $32,147 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $30,964 for the next reported income band, $48,001-$75,000. Net-price measures incorporate broader attendance expenses, not just billed tuition. An individual aid offer and a current, program-specific cost-of-attendance budget are more useful than applying either average to every student.

What are the work-study opportunities at South University-Virginia Beach?

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should distinguish a regular part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, where offered and awarded, is need-based federal aid earned through an eligible job; it is not an automatic tuition discount or a guaranteed position.

Ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study funding and qualifying jobs are available to Virginia Beach students, how positions are posted, and whether the program's class or clinical schedule permits the hours. A paid internship or outside job may provide useful experience, but it has different eligibility rules and should not be included in an aid plan until the position and expected earnings are confirmed.
