For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees total $16,266 for New Jersey residents and $25,258 for out-of-state students. Those figures combine tuition and required fees; they do not include housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal spending.
Adding those reported categories gives $32,710 for an in-state student or $40,968 for an out-of-state student using the stated room-and-board amount. These are partial planning totals, not complete cost-of-attendance estimates: transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific costs may add to them. Commuters and students with different housing arrangements will face different expenses.
Published charges are also not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported financial-aid data, the average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $14,264; for those from families earning more than $110,000, it was $28,601. Those are averages for groups, not aid offers to individual applicants. Stockton's aid process may draw on federal and New Jersey grants, institutional scholarships, loans, and eligible military benefits. Students should compare their own aid offer and current-year cost-of-attendance budget, rather than subtracting an average grant from these published charges.
Stockton students may seek part-time work alongside their studies, including jobs connected to campus operations and, where eligible, Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: receiving eligibility in an aid offer is not the same as being hired or receiving the full listed amount automatically.
Students generally need to complete the financial-aid application process to be considered for federal aid and then apply for available positions. Ordinary campus jobs can have different funding and eligibility rules. Internship opportunities are different again: their primary purpose is work experience or academic credit, and compensation varies.
Stockton's career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, career exploration, a job bank, employer events, and alumni networking opportunities. Students can use those services whether they are looking for a part-time job or planning a longer-term career. Neither access to career services nor participation in an internship constitutes a verified job offer.
