Carolinas College of Health Sciences

What is the cost of studying for a year at Carolinas College of Health Sciences?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $17,892 for both North Carolina residents and out-of-state students, with $990 in required fees. Together, those figures equal $18,882 in published tuition and required fees for that reporting year; they are not a complete annual cost of attendance.

• Reported 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $17,892.
• Reported 2024-25 required fees: $990.
• Reported 2024-25 part-time tuition: $497 per credit hour.

A student's budget may also include books, uniforms, supplies, health and background-check requirements, transportation to clinical sites, housing and food. Program length and course load can change the total substantially. Since the college does not operate student housing, applicants must budget for their own living arrangements rather than assume a campus room-and-board package.

Financial aid can lower the amount paid out of pocket, while loans postpone rather than eliminate costs. In the reported aid figures, 80% of students in the measured group received financial aid and 77% had student loans. The reported average grant award from federal, state, local, institutional or other sources was $4,215 for its specified recipient group - not a guaranteed discount for every enrollee. For a usable estimate, compare the current program-specific cost-of-attendance budget with an individual aid offer, taking particular care not to count a loan as a grant.

What are the work-study opportunities at Carolinas College of Health Sciences?

Students considering work alongside Carolinas College coursework should distinguish paid employment from clinical training. A required clinical assignment may build professional experience without being a paid student job, while an Atrium Health position has its own hiring and scheduling rules.

Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through approved employment rather than money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill. Applicants should check their financial aid offer and ask the aid office whether Work-Study positions are available, how jobs are posted and whether the earnings limit applies to a proposed role. Ordinary part-time jobs do not require a Work-Study award but may be difficult to combine with fixed clinical shifts.

The college reports access to individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job fairs and employer recruitment. These services can help with a job search; they are distinct from an employment guarantee.
