For 2024-25, reported graduate tuition for a full-time academic year was $21,100 for both in-state and out-of-state students, with $2,000 in required fees. Together, those reported charges total $23,100 before books, transportation, living expenses, or any program-specific costs.
The part-time per-credit figure should not be used to reconstruct a full-time bill without checking the program's actual billing rules. For a current estimate, students need their program's tuition schedule, expected course load, mandatory charges, and living and commuting budget. Published charges are not the same as an individual's eventual cost after any eligible assistance.
Student employment and Federal Work-Study are different ways to earn money while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, where available to an eligible student and program, is need-based aid earned through an approved job; an ordinary part-time job does not require a Work-Study award.
Spertus applicants should verify whether their specific program participates in Federal Work-Study before including it in a financing plan. They should also check whether any campus or program position fits their schedule. A prospective internship or professional placement should not be counted as paid employment unless its terms say so.
