Chamberlain University-Missouri

What is the cost of studying for a year at Chamberlain University-Missouri?

The published annual price is only a starting point for estimating the cost of Chamberlain University-Missouri. In 2024-25 institutional reporting, full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Separate reporting places overall annual tuition and fees at $22,050; because reporting measures differ, these amounts should not be added together.

• 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition: $19,740 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• 2024-25 required undergraduate fees: $940 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• 2024-25 part-time undergraduate tuition: $705 per credit hour.
• Separately reported overall annual tuition and fees: $22,050.

The first two figures total $20,680 for the reported full-time measure. An individual bill may differ with credit load, course-specific charges, or the term and academic year in which the student enrolls. Books, supplies, transportation, living expenses, and possible clinical-related expenses also need room in a budget. Because the campus does not provide college-operated housing, students must estimate their own housing and food costs rather than look for a campus room-and-board price.

Net price is different from published tuition: it estimates cost after grant and scholarship aid for a specified group. Reported average net price was $27,604 for students from families earning $48,000 or less and $38,999 for those in the $75,001-$110,000 band. These are group averages, not quotes for an applicant.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, applicable state aid, institutional assistance, outside scholarships, or military education benefits. Aid reporting indicates that borrowing is common: 79% of the measured students had student loans. Applicants should complete the FAFSA if seeking federal aid, then compare their own aid offer with a program-length budget - not just one year's tuition. A loan reduces what is due immediately but does not reduce the education's total price.

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

Working while enrolled may be possible, but a part-time job is not the same thing as Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, generally pays wages for work performed; it is not a grant paid automatically against tuition.

Students interested in campus employment should ask the financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study positions are offered for their campus and term, how jobs are posted, and whether their aid package includes eligibility. They can separately ask about ordinary part-time openings that do not require Work-Study eligibility. Either way, nursing labs and clinical assignments may occur outside a conventional classroom schedule, so an employer's flexibility is an important practical consideration.

Clinical education also should not be confused with paid employment. A required placement provides supervised training under program rules; it is not necessarily a job, internship wage, or route to employment with the clinical site.
