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

For 2024-25, Bluefield University reported full-time undergraduate tuition of $24,950 and required fees of $1,820 for both Virginia and out-of-state students. Together, those published charges total $26,770 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $26,770.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $1,040 per credit hour, before applicable fees.
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $9,540; charges can vary by program and enrollment pattern.

A complete cost-of-attendance estimate adds living and other educational expenses; it is not interchangeable with tuition and fees. Aid changes what an individual pays. In the reported aid figures, 94% of students received financial aid, while 71% had student loans. The average reported grant award to undergraduates was $18,105. Grants generally do not require repayment, whereas loans do.

For students from families earning no more than $48,000 annually, the reported average net price was $25,454. Net price reflects estimated attendance costs after grants and scholarships, not necessarily the amount billed by the university. Because that figure is an average for a particular reporting group, applicants should use their own aid offer and cost-of-attendance estimate to compare Bluefield with other schools. Federal grants and loans, eligible state assistance, institutional scholarships, and military education benefits may have different application and renewal rules.

What are the work-study opportunities at Bluefield University?

Bluefield University reports career support that includes individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, career-interest testing, interview workshops, job fairs, and on-campus employer recruitment. These services can help students explore work; they are not verified employment outcomes or a promise of placement.

Students seeking part-time work should distinguish an ordinary campus job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based federal aid for eligible students, generally requires a financial-aid application, and is earned through work rather than credited upfront as a grant. An aid award does not by itself secure a position. Applicants should ask the financial-aid and student-employment offices how positions are posted, whether off-campus nonprofit jobs qualify, and how work hours fit around classes or required placements. The university does not require an internship of every student, although individual majors may have their own experiential requirements.
