Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology

What is the cost of studying for a year at Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology?

For 2025-26, Bel-Rea reported $9,900 in full-time undergraduate tuition for both Colorado residents and out-of-state students, with no separately reported required fees in that tuition-and-fees measure. Tuition is not the full cost of attendance: students also need a budget for housing, food, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses, as well as any program-specific purchases identified in the current catalog.

• 2025-26 reported full-time tuition: $9,900 for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates.
• Reported average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000: $20,866.
• Reported average net price for students from families earning $48,001-$75,000: $24,556.

Net price is an average cost after grant and scholarship aid, not a tuition rate or an individual quote. It can exceed tuition because it includes other attendance expenses. In 2024-25, 96% of students received financial aid and 75% had student loans; receiving aid therefore did not necessarily mean avoiding debt. Eligible students may be able to use federal grants and loans, applicable state or institutional aid, and veterans' education benefits. The most practical comparison is a current, individualized aid offer alongside Bel-Rea's full cost-of-attendance budget, noting which amounts are grants and which must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology?

Bel-Rea's veterinary technology program includes an internship requirement, giving students a structured clinical experience rather than simply an optional campus job. An internship, an ordinary part-time job, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements and should be budgeted for separately.

Bel-Rea reports career support that includes individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. These services can assist a job search but are not an employment guarantee. Students considering paid work during school should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for Federal Work-Study and whether positions are available; eligibility for the aid program does not itself secure a job. They should also ask how many hours the course and internship schedules realistically leave for outside employment.
