University of Mount Olive

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

For the reported 2024-25 academic year, University of Mount Olive full-time undergraduate tuition was $26,216, with $1,150 in required fees. The reported undergraduate tuition and fee amount was the same for in-state and out-of-state students: $27,366 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $27,366 for the reported academic year.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $12,040.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,350.

Adding those reported amounts produces $40,756, but that is not a complete individualized cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific charges may add to it. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $455 per credit hour. Graduate tuition and fees follow a different schedule and should not be inferred from the undergraduate figures.

Published charges are not the same as the amount a student ultimately pays after grants and scholarships. Reported average net prices vary by family income and aid eligibility; for families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average was $16,066. A student's financial aid offer and intended housing arrangement provide a more useful comparison than the published tuition figure alone. UMO reports broad receipt of financial aid, but loans must generally be repaid; 69% of students in the reported aid measure had student loans.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Mount Olive?

Students looking for paid work while enrolled at the University of Mount Olive should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study is need-based federal aid for eligible students; qualifying for it does not mean wages are paid in advance or that a particular position is guaranteed.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, review their aid offer, and ask UMO's financial aid office how available positions are advertised and hired. Other campus or local jobs may have separate applications and may not require Work-Study eligibility. An internship is different again: it may provide academic credit, pay, both, or neither, depending on the placement. UMO does not report a university-wide internship requirement for all students.

For career planning, the university reports access to individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking. Those services can support a search for employment or experience, but they should not be confused with verified job-placement outcomes.
