Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing

What is the cost of studying for a year at Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Goldfarb was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees are only part of the cost: students also need to budget for living expenses, books, transportation, and nursing-program requirements.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $23,670 for the academic year, in-state or out-of-state.
• Required full-time undergraduate fees: $2,480 for the academic year.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $789 per credit hour.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $12,510 for the academic year, in-state or out-of-state.
• Required full-time graduate fees: $300 for the academic year; part-time graduate tuition was $834 per credit hour.

On those 2024-25 figures, undergraduate tuition plus required fees totals $26,150 before living and other expenses. That is a published-cost calculation, not an individual aid-adjusted bill. Because Goldfarb does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing, a student's rent and food budget depends on their own arrangements. Clinical travel, supplies, uniforms, and any program-specific charges also merit a separate check against the current cost-of-attendance budget.

Eligible students may finance costs through federal aid, available state assistance, institutional scholarships, loans, and qualifying military or veterans benefits. Federal aid generally begins with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In the 2024-25 financial-aid data, 67% of students had student loans, while the reported average undergraduate grant award was $4,246. An average grant is not a grant offer to every student; the financial aid office can provide a program- and enrollment-specific estimate before a student commits.

What are the work-study opportunities at Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing?

Goldfarb students may pursue part-time work, but an ordinary job, a clinical placement, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study, when awarded to an eligible student, provides the opportunity to earn wages through an approved job; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term.

Students interested in working while enrolled should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for Work-Study and where approved openings are posted. The career office's résumé assistance, interview preparation, job fairs, and employer connections serve a related but distinct purpose: helping students pursue work and plan careers. Before accepting a job, nursing students should compare its hours with the attendance demands of labs and clinical assignments.
