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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Thomas University was $11,400, with $240 in required fees, for both in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees are only part of an annual budget.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $11,400 for the reported academic year.
  • Required undergraduate fees: $240 for the same reporting year.
  • Typical annual room charge: $6,750; typical annual board charge: $3,480.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $475 per credit hour.

Adding tuition, required fees, and the reported room and board charges produces $21,870, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate. Books, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges can increase the budget. Commuters will have a different housing and transportation pattern; graduate students face a different tuition schedule.

Financial aid changes what a student ultimately pays. In the reported aid figures, all students in the measured group received some form of aid, while 83% had student loans. Aid can include money that must be repaid, so "receiving aid" does not mean attending at no cost. Reported average net prices for families in the income bands below $110,000 were roughly $19,500 to $19,900, but those averages are not a personal award estimate. Applicants should compare their own aid offer and full annual budget, including borrowing, before making an enrollment decision.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans after completing the FAFSA. Georgia residents should also check applicable state-aid rules, while prospective students can ask the financial aid office about institutional scholarships and eligibility for military or veterans' education benefits. Published charges and aid terms can change by academic year.

What are the work-study opportunities at Thomas University?

Thomas University students can seek career-development support, but a campus job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different opportunities. Reported career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé help, career-interest assessment, interview workshops, job fairs, employer recruitment, and job-placement assistance for undergraduates.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, generally provides the opportunity to earn wages through an approved job; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term. Students should use their financial aid offer to establish eligibility and ask where available positions are posted. Ordinary part-time employment has its own hiring and pay arrangements, while an internship may be for credit, paid, unpaid, or required by a particular program.

The university does not report an internship requirement for every student. Someone seeking work related to a major should ask career services and the academic department which placements are available, how students apply, and whether the work can satisfy a degree requirement.
