University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh?

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $8,532 for an in-state student and $17,302 for an out-of-state student. These figures combine tuition with $1,471 in required fees; they are not complete annual living-cost estimates.

• Wisconsin resident undergraduate tuition: $7,061, plus $1,471 in required fees.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition: $14,975, plus $1,471 in required fees.
• Reported room and board: $8,768 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,000 for the academic year.

Adding those reported categories produces $18,300 for an in-state student or $26,214 for an out-of-state student before transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific charges. The room-and-board figure is not an extra charge for a student who does not buy that housing and meal arrangement. An official cost-of-attendance budget may include additional estimated expenses, and actual charges depend on enrollment and housing choices.

Financial aid changes the amount a student ultimately pays. In the reported aid figures, 73% of students received financial aid and 24% had student loans. Average net price - which reflects aid rather than merely the posted bill - was $9,654 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $16,853 for those in the $75,001-$110,000 bracket. These are group averages, not individual offers. Eligible students can seek federal and Wisconsin grants, university scholarships, loans and applicable military education benefits through the relevant aid processes; filing the FAFSA and meeting scholarship deadlines are important steps.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh?

UW-Oshkosh students can pursue part-time employment alongside study, including positions associated with campus departments. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program that can help eligible students obtain qualifying jobs; it is not an automatic cash grant or a promise of employment.

Students awarded Work-Study generally still need to find and work in an eligible position to earn wages. Students without that award may be able to apply for ordinary campus jobs. Job openings, hours and eligibility depend on the employer and position, so applicants should compare available work with their class and placement schedules.

Career support is broader than student employment. The university reports offering individual and group career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment and career fairs. Students can also seek help exploring majors, finding internships and contacting alumni for networking. An internship is not required of every student, though a particular major may require field experience; neither a career-service appointment nor a campus job is an employment outcome after graduation.
