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

For the 2024-25 academic year, Bethesda University reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $6,960 plus $260 in required fees, for $7,220 in tuition and fees. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Part-time undergraduate tuition was $290 per credit.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $7,220 for 2024-25.
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees: $6,580 for 2024-25.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $350 per credit for 2024-25.

Tuition and fees are only part of an annual budget. Students must also account for books, transportation, personal expenses, and housing and food. A reported room-and-board figure of $14,515 should be treated as a budgeting figure, not as the price of a Bethesda residence hall: the university reports no college-owned or college-operated undergraduate housing. Adding that housing-and-food estimate to undergraduate tuition and fees produces $21,735 before books, transportation, and other expenses, but it is not a complete official cost-of-attendance figure or a quote for an individual student's living arrangement.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. In the 2024-25 reporting, 53% of students received financial aid, while 22% had student loans. The average grant award reported for undergraduates receiving grant aid was $2,644; an average award is not an amount every student receives. Reported average net prices varied by family income - for example, $9,527 for the lowest reported income band and $13,575 for the highest. Net price reflects costs after applicable grants and scholarships, not necessarily the cash due on a tuition bill.

Eligible students may be able to use federal grants or loans, state assistance, or institutional aid. The financial aid office can explain current application steps and whether a student's program and enrollment level qualify. Compare an individualized aid offer with a budget that includes off-campus living and commuting costs before deciding how much to borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Bethesda University?

Bethesda University reports individual and group career counseling for undergraduates, as well as access to on-campus employer recruitment. These are career-development services, not evidence that a particular student will obtain a job or internship.

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a form of need-based federal aid earned through a qualifying job; an award does not itself assign a position or pay wages without hours worked. Students should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study appears on their aid offer and how qualifying jobs are advertised. For career planning, they can ask student services how to arrange counseling and find employer-recruitment opportunities. The university does not require an internship of every student, though an individual program may have its own practical-training requirements.
