Bastyr University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Bastyr University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Bastyr was $31,014, with $1,275 in required fees. Together, those published charges total $32,289 for that reporting year before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses. The reported undergraduate tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

Reported full-time graduate tuition was $37,511, plus $440 in required fees. Graduate and professional programs can differ in their actual course loads, additional expenses, and clinical costs, so that reported figure is not an individualized bill for every degree.

A full cost-of-attendance budget includes living expenses even for students who do not live on campus. Published tuition is also different from net price, the amount left after applicable grants and scholarships; loans reduce what is due immediately but must generally be repaid. Bastyr reported average undergraduate grant aid of about $10,071 in the 2024-25 aid data, but that average is not an award estimate for any particular applicant. Students should compare a current program-specific budget with their actual aid offer rather than subtract a university-wide average from tuition.

What are the work-study opportunities at Bastyr University?

Bastyr students may be able to combine coursework with paid employment, but a campus job is not automatically part of an admission or financial aid offer. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, provides an opportunity to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not a grant paid upfront or a guarantee of a position.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the financial aid application required for their eligibility category and ask the financial aid office how Bastyr advertises approved jobs. Other part-time positions may be available without a Work-Study award. A paid job, an unpaid clinical placement, and a for-credit internship have different purposes and eligibility rules, even when all three provide experience relevant to a career.

For longer-term career planning, reported services include individual and group counseling for undergraduates, interview workshops, a career library, a job bank, and job fairs. Students in professional programs should also ask about support specific to clinical placements, licensure preparation, and the type of practice they hope to enter.
