University of Dallas

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

The University of Dallas has a substantial published price, but the amount an individual student pays depends heavily on aid and living arrangements. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $50,140, with $3,790 in required fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

• 2025-26 tuition and required fees: $56,630.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $15,540, comprising $8,180 for a room and $7,360 for board.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,056.

Those items total $70,526, before transportation and personal expenses. It is an illustration using the stated charges, not a complete or current individualized cost-of-attendance quote. Off-campus living, meal choices, course materials, and travel can change a student's budget.

Grant aid makes the published price a poor substitute for an aid offer. Among reported undergraduates, 99% received financial aid, and the average grant award across federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources was $35,881. For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $15,431; for families above $110,000, it was $32,608. These are averages for defined groups, not guaranteed prices. Students should file the aid applications required for their award, review scholarships and grant eligibility, and compare final offers that include any loans separately from aid that does not need repayment. Eligible students may also use veteran or military education benefits, subject to program rules.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Dallas?

University of Dallas students can seek part-time work while enrolled and can use the university's career services for job and internship planning. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, is a form of need-based student employment - not a grant automatically paid to the student's bill.

A Work-Study award generally sets an earnings limit; students must find an eligible position and earn wages through hours worked. Other campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules. Students comparing aid packages should therefore avoid counting a possible job award as cash already available at the start of a semester.

The university reports individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job postings, employer recruitment, and alumni networking opportunities for undergraduates. These services can support a job or internship search, but access to a career center is not evidence that a particular student will receive an offer. Students seeking work should ask the financial aid and student employment offices where current positions are posted and whether an opening requires Work-Study eligibility.
