Published cost figures show why Cabarrus College applicants need a program-specific estimate rather than a single institution-wide price. In 2024-25 reporting, full-time undergraduate tuition was $16,000, with $550 in required fees, for both in-state and out-of-state students. Reported part-time undergraduate tuition was $500 per credit hour.
Graduate charges differ substantially: reported full-time graduate tuition was $31,800, plus $440 in required fees, while the reported part-time rate was $540 per credit hour. These figures should not be combined with undergraduate charges to create an annual total. Courses may also involve program-specific expenses, and students must budget for books, supplies, transportation, food and housing.
Published charges are not the same as a student's final cost after aid. For context, the reported average net price for students from families with annual income of $0-$48,000 was $9,820; individual awards and expenses can differ. Reported aid figures show that all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 81% used student loans. Applicants should compare their own aid offer with a complete cost-of-attendance budget and distinguish grants, which generally do not require repayment, from loans.
Students considering part-time work should distinguish a regular job from Federal Work-Study, which is need-based financial aid earned through eligible employment. A financial aid offer must establish a student's Work-Study eligibility; an award does not, by itself, place the student in a job.
Cabarrus College students should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study positions are available for their enrollment period and how to apply. Clinical rotations and other required practical experiences are also distinct from paid student employment. Their schedules can affect how many work hours a student can realistically manage, even when a job is available.
