Drury University-College of Continuing Professional Studies

What is the cost of studying for a year at Drury University-College of Continuing Professional Studies?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition for the division was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and required fees together amounted to $8,054 for the reported academic year, before books, transportation, living expenses, or individual course charges.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, in state or out of state: $7,800 for 2024-25.
• Required undergraduate fees, in state or out of state: $254 for 2024-25.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $325 per credit hour for 2024-25, before applicable fees.

These published charges are not a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate. A student's budget also depends on housing, food, books, transportation, and enrollment intensity. Because the division does not report college-operated undergraduate housing, students should budget for their own living arrangements rather than add a presumed campus room-and-board charge.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays. In the reported aid data, average net price varied by family-income group; for students in the $48,001-$75,000 band, it was $10,486. Net price is an average after grant aid that includes estimated attendance expenses, not a tuition quote or a promise of an individual award. Request an aid offer and an attendance budget for the intended credit load before comparing Drury with other schools.

What are the work-study opportunities at Drury University-College of Continuing Professional Studies?

Students may be able to combine study with paid work, but a student job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded through the financial-aid process; receiving an award generally permits a student to seek an eligible job rather than guaranteeing a position or paying the award upfront.

Applicants interested in work-study should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and ask Drury's financial-aid office about current eligibility, available positions, and hiring procedures. They should also ask whether ordinary campus jobs are open to students without a work-study award. For career development, the more important question may be whether a proposed job or internship builds experience relevant to the student's major. Drury students should check which university career-advising, résumé, and employer-event services are available to their division and in a format they can use.
