UE charges the same published undergraduate tuition to Indiana residents and students from other states. In 2024-25, full-time undergraduate tuition was $42,800, with $1,372 in required fees. Tuition and required fees therefore totaled $44,172 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.
The following 2024-25 figures illustrate additional budget items rather than a bill every student will receive:
Adding those listed amounts to tuition and required fees gives $60,607 for a student using the typical room-and-board figures, before transportation and personal expenses. Actual charges depend on housing and meal-plan choices. Graduate tuition and part-time per-credit charges follow different schedules, so they should not be estimated from the full-time undergraduate total.
Published price is not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. For the reported aid year, average net price varied by family income: it was $12,347 for families earning up to $48,000 and $24,936 for those earning above $110,000. These are group averages, not individual quotes. Reported undergraduate grant aid averaged $34,952 among the relevant recipients, but eligibility and award size vary. Students should compare their own aid offer with a full cost-of-attendance budget and distinguish grants from loans, which must generally be repaid.
Eligible UE students may seek part-time work alongside their studies, including jobs funded through Federal Work-Study and other student employment. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid determined through the FAFSA and the school's award process; receiving an award does not itself place a student in a job.
Work-study pay is earned through hours worked rather than normally being subtracted in full from a semester bill at the outset. Students who are not offered work-study may still be able to apply for positions that do not require it. Job availability, wages, scheduling, and whether an approved position is on or off campus depend on the employer and the current openings.
For career-related experience, UE's career services offer individual planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, employer recruitment, and job fairs. An internship may be useful - or required by a particular program - but the university does not require one of every student. Applicants balancing employment with a demanding major should ask both the financial-aid office and their academic department how work hours fit the expected course sequence.
