Bethune-Cookman University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Bethune-Cookman University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Bethune-Cookman was $13,844, with $950 in required fees, for $14,794 in tuition and fees. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. These are published charges before grants and scholarships.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees: $14,794 for the academic year.
• Typical room and board: $10,396 for the academic year.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,450 for the academic year.

Those listed items total $26,640, but that subtotal is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses and other applicable costs must also be considered. A commuter's expenses may differ considerably from a resident student's. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $577 per credit hour, so students considering less than full-time enrollment should budget by credits rather than using the annual full-time figure.

Net price gives a different view because it accounts for grant and scholarship aid in the applicable federal calculation. Among students in the lowest reported family-income bracket, $0-$48,000, average net price was $11,487. That is an average, not an individual award or bill. Financial aid reporting also shows that 98% of students received aid, while 82% had student loans. The prevalence of loans makes it particularly important to compare grants, which generally do not require repayment, with amounts a student would need to borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Bethune-Cookman University?

Eligible Bethune-Cookman students may use Federal Work-Study as one way to earn money while enrolled. Work-Study is need-based federal student aid paid through qualifying employment; it is not an automatic discount on the tuition bill or a guarantee of a job.

Students generally begin by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, then reviewing their aid offer and available student jobs. An ordinary campus part-time job may have different eligibility and funding rules. Likewise, an internship may award academic credit, wages, both or neither. Students seeking work connected to a major should ask about employer events, internships and career advising as well as student employment. Earnings from any job depend on obtaining a position and working the scheduled hours.
