The University of America

What is the cost of studying for a year at The University of America?

A dependable annual tuition-and-fees figure or total cost of attendance for The University of America cannot be stated without a current, program-specific schedule. Applicants should request a written estimate for their intended academic year and enrollment load that separates tuition, mandatory fees, books or materials, transportation, and living expenses. Per-credit tuition should be multiplied by the credits actually planned, with any additional charges shown separately.

Published charges are not the same as net price: grants and scholarships may reduce what an eligible student pays, while loans must generally be repaid. Confirm the institution's federal-aid participation before assuming federal grants or loans can be used, and obtain a personalized aid offer rather than treating a general estimate as a promise.

What are the work-study opportunities at The University of America?

Federal Work-Study and institution-sponsored student jobs cannot be confirmed for The University of America. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program available only through participating institutions to students who receive an award; it is not an automatic job or a tuition discount. Applicants seeking employment should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study is offered and ask the institution how any campus jobs are posted and paid.

Career support is a separate consideration. Before relying on it, students can ask what help is currently offered with résumés, interviews, internships, and job searches, and whether those services are available to online or part-time students.
