Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi

What is the cost of studying for a year at Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi?

For the 2025-26 reporting year, average full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi totaled $9,748 for Texas residents and $20,062 for nonresidents. Required fees account for a substantial part of each total, so comparing tuition alone would understate the published charge.

• Texas-resident tuition and required fees: $9,748.
• Nonresident tuition and required fees: $20,062.
• Reported room and board: $13,680; books and supplies: $1,296.

Adding the listed room, board, books and supplies produces approximately $24,724 for a resident or $35,770 for a nonresident before transportation and other personal expenses. These are illustrations using the same reporting year, not complete individualized cost-of-attendance budgets. Housing choices, course load, program charges and residency classification can change the bill.

Financial aid changes what a student may ultimately pay. About 83% of students received some form of financial aid in the reported data, while 42% had student loans; a loan must be repaid and is not a price reduction. Reported average net price differed by family income: approximately $11,961 for families earning up to $48,000, compared with $23,426 for those earning above $110,000. Averages cannot predict an individual award.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Texas state aid, university scholarships and, where applicable, military or veterans' education benefits. The FAFSA is the usual starting point for federal aid and many other awards. Applicants should compare their own aid offer with the university's current cost-of-attendance estimate, paying particular attention to whether an award is a grant, scholarship, loan or job eligibility.

What are the work-study opportunities at Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi?

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi students can look for part-time employment and career-development support while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, supports qualifying part-time jobs; it is not an automatic tuition discount, and earnings generally depend on hours worked.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer and follow the university's student-employment application process. Other campus jobs may be open without a Work-Study award, depending on the position and funding. A paid internship is a separate arrangement and may have its own academic or employer requirements.

The university's career services include individual career planning, résumé help, interview preparation, employer recruiting and job fairs. Students can also use job-search resources and seek guidance on internships or networking. Those services provide ways to prepare and apply; they should not be confused with a verified job-placement guarantee.
