Chamberlain University-Virginia

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

For the 2024-25 reporting year, the listed full-time undergraduate tuition at Chamberlain University-Virginia was $20,580, with $940 in required fees. The reported tuition and fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These published charges are not an individual financial-aid offer.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $20,580 for the reported academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $940 for the reported academic year.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $735 per credit hour.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $400.

Students must also budget for housing, food, transportation and personal expenses. The reported annual room-and-board estimate was $18,892, but it should not be read as the price of a Chamberlain residence hall or meal plan: the institution does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing. Actual living costs will depend on a student's household and commute. Nursing-related expenses may also vary by program requirements.

Grants and scholarships can reduce what a student pays; loans generally defer payment rather than reduce the price. In the reported aid figures, 76% of students received student loans, while the average grant aid figure for undergraduates was $4,616. An applicant's aid offer and program-specific cost-of-attendance budget are more useful for planning than a published tuition figure alone.

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

Students considering part-time work should distinguish an ordinary job from Federal Work-Study, a need-based aid program that pays eligible students for qualifying employment. A Federal Work-Study award, if offered, is not a tuition discount or a guarantee of a job.

Students can use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to establish eligibility for federal aid and then check their individual award notice for Work-Study. They should ask the financial aid office how eligible positions are advertised, whether off-campus jobs qualify and how earnings are paid. Nursing students also need to account for clinical schedules when judging how many work hours are realistic. A clinical placement is an academic requirement; it should not be assumed to be paid employment.
