Unitek College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Unitek College?

The cost of attending Unitek College depends on the program, its length, and a student's living and transportation arrangements. Applicants need a program-specific written cost estimate rather than a single college-wide tuition figure.

The 2024-25 financial-aid data provide a view of net price - an average cost after grant and scholarship aid - not a tuition quote or a bill that every student will receive. Reported average net prices by family-income range were:

• $25,651 for families with annual income of $48,000 or less.
• $24,401 for families with annual income from $48,001 to $75,000.
• $25,773 for families with annual income from $75,001 to $110,000.
• $27,775 for families with annual income above $110,000.

Because the college does not provide student housing, an individual budget should account for rent and food as well as tuition, required fees, books, supplies, transportation, and any program-specific expenses. Ask whether a quoted charge covers the entire program or one term, and how costs change if coursework must be repeated or the program takes longer than planned.

Financial aid can reduce the amount paid upfront without reducing the full price in the same way: grants generally do not require repayment, while loans generally do. In the 2024-25 data, 78% of students received financial aid and 57% received student loans. The reported average grant award was $5,383. Eligible students can discuss federal grants and loans, applicable California aid, scholarships, and military education benefits with the financial aid office; eligibility and award amounts depend on the student and program.

What are the work-study opportunities at Unitek College?

Students considering a job while enrolled at Unitek College should plan around the time demands of their specific program, especially laboratories and clinical placements. Paid work, a required clinical assignment, and a work-study award are not interchangeable.

Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through an approved job rather than a discount automatically subtracted from tuition. Applicants interested in it should ask the financial aid office whether their program and campus have eligible positions and how jobs are assigned. Ordinary part-time employment has different hiring and aid rules.

Unitek College's career-oriented programs may also involve career preparation and employer contacts. Students should ask their campus career-services staff which concrete services are available - such as résumé review, interview preparation, and job leads - and distinguish that assistance from a promise of employment.
