The University of Texas Permian Basin

What is the cost of studying for a year at The University of Texas Permian Basin?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $9,607 for Texas residents and $21,900 for out-of-state students. Those amounts are published charges, not the full cost of attendance or the amount every student pays after aid.

• Texas-resident undergraduate tuition: $6,577; required fees: $3,030.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $18,870; required fees: $3,030.
• Reported annual room and board: $14,098, comprising a $9,530 room charge and a $4,568 board charge.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,684.

Adding those 2024-25 figures gives approximately $25,389 for a resident living with the reported room-and-board arrangement, or $37,682 for a nonresident, before transportation and personal expenses. This is a comparison of reported charges, not an individualized university aid estimate. Commuters and students with different housing or meal choices can face substantially different costs. Fees are a meaningful part of the resident price and should not be overlooked when comparing advertised tuition.

Financial aid changes the picture. Reported average net prices for students in families earning $48,000 or less and $48,001-$75,000 were $10,491 and $12,823, respectively. A net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for the students included in the measure; it is not an offer to a new applicant. Eligible students can seek federal grants, Texas state aid, UTPB scholarships, and federal loans through the applicable aid processes. The reported share receiving some form of financial aid was 98%, while 29% had student loans; receiving aid does not mean that all expenses were covered. Veterans and eligible dependents should also check how military education benefits apply to their particular enrollment.

What are the work-study opportunities at The University of Texas Permian Basin?

UT Permian Basin students may be able to combine classes with part-time employment, including campus jobs and Federal Work-Study positions. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid earned through a job; it is not a grant deposited automatically or a guarantee of employment.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how to find eligible openings. Other student jobs may be available without a Work-Study award, with hiring determined by the employing department. Because UTPB has a large commuter population, applicants should compare a job's hours and location with their class and travel schedules.

For longer-term career planning, reported university services include individual career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, career fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can support a search for internships or postgraduation work, but they are distinct from job placement outcomes. An internship is not a university-wide graduation requirement; individual majors may have their own experiential requirements.
