Blessing Rieman College of Nursing and Health Sciences

What is the cost of studying for a year at Blessing Rieman College of Nursing and Health Sciences?

For 2024-25 reporting, full-time undergraduate tuition was $29,856, with $900 in required fees, for $30,756 in published tuition and required fees. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Part-time undergraduate tuition was $996 per credit hour, so a part-time bill depends on course load.

Tuition and required fees are not the full cost of attendance. Students also need to budget for books and supplies, transportation, living expenses, and any program-specific costs identified in their current financial aid estimate. A reported books-and-supplies figure of $3,200 is particularly worth checking against the actual requirements for the intended program. A separate $13,000 room-and-board benchmark should not be mistaken for the price of college-owned housing.

Published prices and an individual student's net cost are different: grants and scholarships can lower what a student pays, while loans must generally be repaid. In 2024-25 reporting, 35% of students had student loans, and the average grant aid awarded to undergraduate recipients was $12,123. Those averages do not establish what a new applicant will receive. Federal grants, Illinois aid where eligible, institutional assistance, and military education benefits may have different application and eligibility rules. A current, individualized aid offer is the appropriate basis for comparing colleges.

What are the work-study opportunities at Blessing Rieman College of Nursing and Health Sciences?

Students can distinguish three possible ways to gain experience or income: a paid student job, Federal Work-Study, and a required or elective clinical placement. They are not interchangeable. In particular, a clinical requirement should not be assumed to be paid employment.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, generally requires a qualifying job and payment for hours worked; it is not a discount automatically taken off tuition. Students interested in employment should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study positions are available and how jobs are posted. They should also ask a program adviser how many paid work hours are realistic alongside classes and clinical shifts.

Career-related support reported for undergraduates includes individual career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest testing, job fairs, employer recruitment, and résumé referral. These are services for planning and searching; they are not verified job-placement outcomes.
