• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $12,216.
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $1,580.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,623.
• Reported room-and-board figure: $8,829; this is not a quoted price for a specific housing or meal-plan option.

The full cost of attendance also accounts for expenses such as transportation and personal needs, which can differ considerably for commuters and residents. Do not add figures from different reporting years to construct a supposedly current annual bill. Published charges are also not net price: after grant and scholarship aid, reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $6,989, while the figure for families earning more than $110,000 was $18,446. Those are group averages, not individual offers.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans, Tennessee aid, institutional scholarships, or qualifying military education benefits. The FAFSA is the usual starting point for federal aid and many other awards. All students in the reported aid measure received some form of financial aid, but 69% used student loans; receiving aid therefore does not necessarily mean attendance was debt-free. Compare a current, individualized aid offer with the university's current cost-of-attendance budget before deciding what is affordable.

What are the work-study opportunities at Baptist Health Sciences University?

Student employment, Federal Work-Study, and career preparation are related but different. A Federal Work-Study award, when offered to an eligible student, permits earnings through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically and does not guarantee a position. Applicants interested in work should ask financial aid whether they qualify and where approved openings are posted.

For career planning, the university reports individual counseling for undergraduates, student access to job interviews, and on-campus employer recruitment. These services can help a student explore roles and make employer contacts, but they are not employment guarantees. Clinical education also deserves separate attention: the institution does not report an internship requirement for every student, while individual health professions programs may require supervised clinical experiences.
