For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $20,700 for both Alabama residents and out-of-state students, with no separately reported required fees. The reported part-time undergraduate charge was $575 per credit. These are tuition figures, not a complete annual budget.
A separate 2026 tuition listing gives $21,960 for a full-time academic year. Because it comes from a different reporting period, it should not be combined with the 2024-25 figure as though the two describe one year's bill. Students also need to budget for living arrangements, food, books, transportation and personal expenses. An annual room-and-board figure of $12,000 appears in cost reporting, but it should not be read as the price of a university residence hall.
Financial aid changes the amount an individual pays. Among students from families earning $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $24,731. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for a defined group; it is not a personal quote or the amount left after taking out loans. The university's current cost-of-attendance estimate and an individual aid offer are the better tools for planning a specific year.
Work experience is relevant at United States Sports University: institutional reporting says an internship is required. Students should confirm how that requirement applies to their particular degree, whether placements are paid and who is responsible for securing one.
An internship, an ordinary part-time job and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Work-Study is need-based federal aid earned through an eligible job, not a grant paid automatically to everyone who qualifies. Applicants interested in it should complete the financial aid process and ask the aid office whether Work-Study funding and suitable positions are available for their enrollment period.
