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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $19,940, with $2,416 in required fees, for both in-state and out-of-state students. Those published charges come before housing, food, books, transportation, personal expenses, and financial aid.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $22,356 for the reported academic year.
• Typical room and board charges: $8,990 combined.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,222.

Adding those three reported categories gives $32,568, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: it excludes transportation and personal expenses, and an individual housing or meal choice may cost differently. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $680 per credit. Graduate tuition and program-specific charges require a separate estimate.

The price a student ultimately pays can be lower after grants and scholarships. Reported average net prices varied by family income: $12,282 for families earning up to $48,000 annually and $20,063 for families earning more than $110,000. These are averages for eligible students in those income groups, not individual aid offers. In 2024-25 reporting, 99% of students received some form of financial aid and 44% had student loans. Applicants can seek federal grants and loans through the FAFSA and should review university scholarships, applicable state aid, and military or veterans' benefits separately; each has its own eligibility rules.

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

University of Mary students may pursue student employment while enrolled, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and an academic internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded to eligible students through the financial aid process; an award generally provides an opportunity to earn wages through an eligible job rather than money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill.

Students seeking work should check both their financial aid offer and current student-job postings to see which positions require Work-Study eligibility and which are open to other applicants. Hours, pay, and availability depend on the position. Career services also offers job-search and professional-development support, but its employer events and internship assistance do not mean an internship is required for every major or that a job is assured.
