• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $19,740
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $940
• Part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $705 per credit

Those figures are not a complete annual budget. Books and supplies, transportation, housing, food and personal expenses can matter substantially at a nonresidential nursing campus. Students may also need to budget for program-related items and travel to clinical sites. The reported average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 was $32,900; net price includes broader attendance costs after grant and scholarship aid, which is why it can exceed tuition and mandatory fees alone. An average is not an individual financial-aid offer.

Federal grants and loans, eligible state assistance, institutional awards and military education benefits may help qualifying students pay. In 2024-25 reporting, 61% of students received student loans, underscoring the importance of distinguishing grants, which generally do not require repayment, from borrowed funds. Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and use a personalized aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget - not the published tuition figure alone - to estimate what they would need to pay or borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Chamberlain University-Louisiana?

Chamberlain students can pursue part-time work and career development, but a regular job, an internship and Federal Work-Study are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program that requires eligibility and an available qualifying position; receiving other financial aid does not automatically provide a Work-Study job.

Students considering employment should ask the financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study is available to their program and campus, how positions are advertised, and whether eligible off-campus jobs exist. They should also check how paid work would fit a BSN timetable, since clinical assignments may not follow conventional class hours.

For career preparation, Chamberlain describes university-level career services and employer-facing resources. Jefferson students should confirm which services they can use directly - such as résumé review, interview preparation or job-search support - and distinguish access to a service from a verified job-placement outcome. Clinical experience is part of nursing education, not necessarily a paid internship or an offer of employment.
