University of Massachusetts Global

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $12,000 for both California and out-of-state students, with $540 in required fees. That puts reported tuition and required fees at $12,540 for the academic year before living costs, books and other expenses.

• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $500 per credit hour.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $13,140, plus $540 in reported required fees.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $730 per credit hour.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,089.

The reported room-and-board estimate is $22,752, but UMass Global does not offer college-operated undergraduate housing. It is a budgeting estimate for living expenses, not a residence-hall or meal-plan bill. Transportation, personal spending, course-specific costs and an individual student's living arrangement can change the full cost of attendance.

IPEDS figures show that 59% of students received financial aid and 23% had student loans in 2024-25. Reported average undergraduate grant aid was $4,028. Eligible students may explore federal grants and loans, applicable state aid, institutional or outside scholarships, employer benefits, and military or veterans education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing the resulting aid offer is more useful than subtracting the average grant from published tuition: an individual award can differ substantially, and loans must be repaid.

Average net price includes more than tuition and varies with the reporting population and family income. For students from families earning $48,000 or less, the reported average was $31,782. Because living expenses form a large part of the budget, a student studying from an existing home should build a personal estimate rather than treat that average as a bill.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Massachusetts Global?

UMass Global students can use career-development services, but a part-time job, an internship and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that eligible students earn through approved employment; it is not a grant paid automatically upon enrollment or a guaranteed job.

Students interested in work-study should complete the FAFSA, check whether the program appears in their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how approved positions are found and paid. Ordinary part-time work may be available without work-study eligibility, while an internship may carry academic requirements and need not be paid.

For broader job preparation, reported career services include individual and group counseling for undergraduates, résumé help, career-interest testing, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs and alumni networking opportunities. These services support a search; they should not be confused with a verified job-placement outcome or a promise of employment.
