The cost of studying at Roosevelt University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay $26,520 annually, to study in Roosevelt University.

Majoring in international studies lays the groundwork for students to pursue a wide array of careers in international affairs, from work with intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations or the World Bank, to aid and development work with groups such as USAID, democracy promotion for organizations such as Freedom House, international law at the Hague, advocacy groups like Witness or Human Rights Watch, environmental groups such as the Sierra Club, or global solidarity campaigns including the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women.
