University of the Potomac-Washington DC Campus

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of the Potomac-Washington DC Campus?

For 2024-25 reporting, full-time undergraduate tuition was $5,760 and required fees were $900, for $6,660 in tuition and fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Full-time graduate tuition and required fees were reported separately and should not be substituted for an undergraduate estimate.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $5,760.
• Required undergraduate fees: $900.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $500.
• Reported annual room-and-board budget figure: $19,536; this is not a charge for a university-owned residence hall.

Those figures are from the same reporting period, but they are not a complete bill: transportation, personal spending and individual housing choices can change the total substantially. Because the university does not offer college-owned undergraduate housing, students should treat the room-and-board figure as a budgeting reference rather than an on-campus housing price. Published costs also differ from net cost after aid.

Financial assistance may include federal grants for eligible students, loans, institutional or other grants, and veterans' education benefits where applicable. In the 2024-25 aid data, 62% of students received financial aid and 9% had student loans; the reported average undergraduate grant award was $4,824. Those group statistics do not predict an individual award. Applicants seeking federal aid should complete the FAFSA and review the university's financial-aid offer alongside their own housing and transportation budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of the Potomac-Washington DC Campus?

Students can use the university's career resources while studying, but career services, paid student employment and Federal Work-Study are different things. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, is earned through qualifying work rather than paid automatically as a grant; an award does not itself secure a job.

Reported career resources include résumé preparation, interview workshops, a career library, a job bank, job fairs and on-campus employer recruitment for undergraduates. Students looking for income should ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study is available to them and where approved openings are posted. They should ask career services separately about internships or employer events relevant to their major, since those opportunities may be unpaid or have their own selection requirements.
