Concordia University-Nebraska

What is the cost of studying for a year at Concordia University-Nebraska?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Concordia University, Nebraska was $39,800 for both Nebraska residents and out-of-state students, with $840 in required fees. Published charges are a starting point for a budget, not the amount every student ultimately pays.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $39,800 for the academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $840.
• Typical room and board: $11,350 combined.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,100.

Those listed items total $53,090 for a student using the stated housing and dining estimate. That subtotal does not include transportation, personal spending or any program-specific expenses, so it is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget. A commuter's housing and food costs will differ, but living off campus does not eliminate them. Published prices for another academic year should not be substituted into this 2024-25 subtotal without recalculating it.

Financial aid can substantially change the amount paid. Reported average annual net price for aided students from families earning $48,000 or less was $20,295; for the $48,001-$75,000 bracket, it was $21,442. Those are group averages after applicable grant and scholarship aid, not individualized offers. The university also reports average undergraduate grant aid of $28,534 across the applicable measured recipients. Students should compare their own aid offer against a complete annual budget, noting that loans lower the immediate bill but must generally be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Concordia University-Nebraska?

Concordia University, Nebraska students can seek campus employment and career support while enrolled. Federal Work-Study, when offered in an eligible student's aid package, is a need-based employment program - not a grant paid automatically and not a guarantee of a particular job or number of hours. Other part-time positions may have different eligibility and funding rules.

Students interested in work should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, review their aid offer and ask how to find and apply for available positions. Job earnings usually arrive as wages for hours worked rather than as an immediate tuition discount. Students should weigh work hours against class schedules, field placements and any restrictions attached to their aid.

Career support extends beyond student jobs. Reported services include individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, interview practice, job listings and fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking or mentoring. These services can help a student explore a major, prepare an application or look for an internship; they are not evidence that an internship is required of every student or that employment after graduation is assured. Concordia reports that 100% of the measured students received some form of financial aid and 26% used student loans, making it important to distinguish grants, loans and wages when comparing offers.
