• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $18,427 for the reported academic year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,031 for the reported academic year.
• Reported books and supplies cost: $1,720.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $9,535, plus $51 in required fees, for the reported academic year.

Students also need to budget for housing, food, transportation and personal expenses. Nursing-specific purchases and clinical requirements may add costs; applicants should request the current program's itemized cost sheet. Do not add the listed graduate and undergraduate charges together, or assume that every program follows a conventional two-semester academic year.

Financial aid can reduce a student's out-of-pocket price. In the reported aid figures, 62% of students had student loans, while the average grant awarded to undergraduates was $4,840. A grant generally does not have to be repaid; a loan does. Students can compare their individual aid offer with the full cost of attendance rather than tuition alone. Eligible applicants should complete the FAFSA and ask the financial-aid office about federal, state, institutional and applicable military education benefits.

What are the work-study opportunities at Denver College of Nursing?

A part-time job and Federal Work-Study are not the same thing. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid that requires eligibility and an available qualifying job; an ordinary off-campus job does not depend on a work-study award.

Applicants who hope to work during nursing school should ask the financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study positions are offered and how to apply. They should also compare potential work hours with the actual classroom, laboratory and clinical schedule. Clinical placements are educational requirements and should not be assumed to be paid employment or to count as work-study jobs.
