Wagner College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Wagner College?

Wagner's reported full-time undergraduate tuition for 2024-25 was $51,200, with $2,000 in required fees. The same published rates applied to in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Tuition and required fees are the starting point for a budget, not the full cost of attendance.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $53,200 for 2024-25.
• Reported room and board charges: $17,136 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,095.

Together, those categories total $71,431, before transportation, personal expenses and any other costs applicable to an individual student. This is an illustration using figures from the same reporting year, not a current bill or a complete official cost-of-attendance budget. A commuter would generally substitute actual commuting and living expenses for campus room and board; a part-time student faces a different tuition calculation.

Financial aid can change the amount a student ultimately pays. In the reported aid figures, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, and 53% had student loans. Loans still have to be repaid. Average net price - the cost after applicable grants and scholarships - also varies by family income: the reported average was $21,944 for families with income up to $48,000, compared with $32,604 for those above $110,000. Neither average predicts an individual award. Applicants should compare their own aid offer with the current cost-of-attendance budget and check which scholarships renew in later years.

What are the work-study opportunities at Wagner College?

Wagner students can pursue campus employment and career-related experience, but a paid job, a Federal Work-Study award and an internship serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that supports eligible employment; an award does not itself place a student in a job or pay the entire award upfront.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the required financial-aid application, review their award notice, and follow Wagner's process for finding and applying to positions. Students without Work-Study eligibility may still seek ordinary part-time employment where positions are available. For either kind of job, hours and earnings depend on the position and hiring decision.

Wagner's career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview preparation, career-interest exploration, employer recruitment and job fairs. Students can also seek alumni networking and mentoring. These services can help with an internship search or a first job search, but access to career support is not an employment outcome or a job offer. Because experiential learning is part of Wagner's academic approach, students should ask their department which experiences are required for their particular degree and whether they are paid or credit-bearing.

Eligible students may also use grants, institutional scholarships, federal loans and, where applicable, state or military education benefits to finance study. The financial-aid office can explain how each item in an award is applied and whether additional steps or annual renewal conditions apply.
