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

The University of New Haven charges the same reported full-time undergraduate tuition to Connecticut residents and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, tuition was $45,644 and required fees were $1,688, or $47,332 combined before living and other expenses.

  • Undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $47,332.
  • Typical annual room and board charge in the reported cost data: $19,804.
  • Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,300.

Adding those three reported amounts produces $68,436, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and other applicable charges can add to it. Housing and meal-plan choices also change an individual bill. Students should use the budget for their own entry year and living arrangement rather than combining a newer tuition quote with older housing figures.

Published price is not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. Reported average net prices ranged from $29,043 for students in families earning up to $48,000 to $38,385 for those in families earning more than $110,000. These are averages for defined aid-reporting groups, not personalized estimates. Nearly all students in the reported aid measure received some financial aid, yet 72% used student loans; applicants should compare grants separately from amounts they would have to repay.

Eligible students may seek federal and state aid, institutional scholarships, and loans through the university's financial aid process, generally beginning with the FAFSA. Military-connected students should also check how applicable education benefits interact with institutional aid. A personalized award letter and cost-of-attendance estimate are more useful for comparing colleges than the sticker price alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of New Haven?

University of New Haven students can pursue part-time employment and career-development opportunities, but a campus job and Federal Work-Study are not the same thing. Work-Study is need-based federal aid for eligible students; an award normally permits a student to earn wages through an approved job rather than receiving the full amount automatically as a tuition discount.

Students should review their financial aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and the university's student-employment listings for available positions. Ordinary part-time jobs may have different eligibility rules, and an internship may be paid, unpaid, or completed for academic credit depending on its terms. Neither an aid award nor enrollment guarantees a particular opening or schedule.

The university also reports career counseling for undergraduates, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment, a job bank, and alumni networking opportunities. These services can support a job or internship search; they should not be confused with a verified placement outcome or a promise of employment.
