University of Hartford

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

The University of Hartford charges private-university tuition rather than separate in-state and out-of-state undergraduate rates. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $45,682, with $3,393 in required fees. Together, those published charges total $49,075 before housing, meals, books, and personal expenses.

• Tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $49,075.
• Typical room and board charges, 2024-25: $14,890.
• Reported books and supplies allowance, 2024-25: $1,460.

Those three reported categories sum to $65,425, but that is not a complete individual cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific charges may add to it. Commuters and students choosing different housing or meal arrangements can face a different budget. Graduate tuition and fees are calculated separately from undergraduate charges, and some programs may have distinct rates.

Published price also differs from net price after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid data, average net price was $24,512 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $34,833 for families above $110,000. Those are group averages, not quotes for an applicant. The reported average grant award was $31,974, while 66% of the relevant students received student loans; grants reduce the price without repayment, whereas loans generally must be repaid.

Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, applicable state assistance, institutional scholarships, and military education benefits. Hartford reports substantial institutional and other grant aid, but an individual award depends on eligibility and the aid year. Applicants should complete the FAFSA when seeking federal aid, check scholarship and aid deadlines, and compare the full annual budget and loan amount on their own offer rather than subtracting an institution-wide average grant from the published price.

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

University of Hartford students can seek part-time employment alongside their studies, including positions that may be designated Federal Work-Study for eligible students. Work-Study is a federal aid program tied to financial need and an award offer; it is not a guarantee that a student will be assigned a job or receive the full award without working the required hours.

Students without Work-Study eligibility may still be able to apply for other campus jobs. Position availability, pay, and scheduling vary, so applicants should review current student-employment postings and ask the financial aid office how earnings interact with their award. An internship, by contrast, may be paid or unpaid and may carry academic credit; it is not automatically a Work-Study position.

For broader career planning, Hartford reports individual career counseling for undergraduates, résumé help, interview preparation, a job bank, career fairs, employer recruitment, and opportunities to connect with alumni. These services can help students explore majors and seek internships or jobs, but access to them is not an employment outcome or a promise of placement.
