Thomas More University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Thomas More University?

Thomas More University charges the same reported full-time undergraduate tuition to in-state and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, that figure was $39,025, with no separate required-fee amount reported in the tuition figures. Published prices can change by academic year, so an applicant should use the rate on their own offer and billing schedule.

• Reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $39,025.
• Reported annual room and board figure: $10,500.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,200.

Adding those figures produces $50,725, but it is not a complete or individualized annual cost of attendance: transportation, personal expenses and any applicable program charges must also be considered. Commuters and residential students will have different living costs. The separately reported part-time undergraduate charge was $880 per credit hour.

Net price is a different measure: it reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for a specified student group. Reported average net prices ranged from $17,955 for families with annual income up to $48,000 to $25,267 for families above $110,000. An average is not an aid offer. The aid figures indicate that all students in the measured cohort received some form of financial aid, while 53% used student loans; grants need not be repaid, but loans generally do.

Eligible students may be considered for federal and state aid and institutional scholarships, typically through the applicable financial aid application process. Veterans and service members should ask how their specific education benefits interact with institutional aid. Comparing the university's individualized aid offer with its full cost of attendance is more informative than comparing tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Thomas More University?

Students can explore part-time employment alongside Thomas More's career services, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award and internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job; receiving an award does not itself mean that wages have already been paid or that a particular position has been secured.

The university reports career support that includes individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, job listings, employer recruitment, job fairs and alumni networking. These services can help students search for work or internships, but they should not be read as a placement guarantee. An internship is not required of every student, although a particular major may set its own experiential requirements.

Students seeking paid work should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for Federal Work-Study and where current student positions are posted. They should confirm pay, hours and eligibility with the hiring office rather than assuming every campus opening is a work-study job.
