Bank Street College of Education

What is the cost of studying for a year at Bank Street College of Education?

Bank Street's published graduate tuition represents a substantial expense, and tuition alone is not the full cost of attendance. For the 2024-25 reporting year, the graduate figures were the same for in-state and out-of-state students:

• Full-time graduate tuition: $45,432 for the academic year.
• Required fees for full-time graduate students: $300.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $1,814 per credit hour.

These are 2024-25 figures, not a quote for a later term. Students should check the current tuition schedule and their program's credit requirements before calculating a budget. Books, transportation, personal expenses, and any living costs must be considered separately; adding them without a program-specific estimate would produce a misleading annual total. A student's eventual out-of-pocket cost also depends on aid and on how many credits they take each term.

For financing, graduate students may be able to use federal student loans if they meet federal and institutional eligibility rules. Institutional scholarships or other assistance, when offered, have their own application conditions. Applicants should ask the financial aid office for a program-specific aid estimate and distinguish grants or scholarships, which generally do not require repayment, from loans, which do.

What are the work-study opportunities at Bank Street College of Education?

Bank Street students may combine graduate study with paid work, but a job is not the same thing as a required field placement or a financial aid award. This distinction is especially important in educator-preparation programs, where supervised practice can constrain working hours.

Federal Work-Study, if included in an eligible student's aid package, would provide an opportunity to earn wages through an approved job; it would not be an automatic tuition discount or a promise of employment. Applicants seeking campus employment should ask financial aid and the hiring office whether positions are open to their program, how to apply, and whether the work can coexist with required fieldwork. For career planning, program staff and placement contacts may be more directly relevant than a general student job.
