What is the cost of studying for a year at Five Branches University?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time graduate tuition at Five Branches University was $19,360, with $315 in required fees. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state graduate students. A reported part-time graduate charge of $310 per credit hour is a different pricing measure and should not be added to full-time annual tuition.

  • Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $19,360.
  • Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $315.
  • Part-time graduate charge, 2024-25: $310 per credit hour.

These published charges do not constitute a complete annual living budget. Books, supplies, transportation, housing, food, and any program-specific clinical expenses can increase the amount a student needs; actual tuition also depends on enrollment and the current year's rates. Eligible students may be able to seek federal financial aid by completing the FAFSA and meeting program and enrollment requirements. Graduate students should ask the financial aid office for a current cost-of-attendance estimate and a written explanation of available loans, scholarships, and any applicable military education benefits before comparing offers.

What are the work-study opportunities at Five Branches University?

Students interested in earning money while attending Five Branches University should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based financial aid program that requires institutional participation, individual eligibility, and an available qualifying position; a job does not become Work-Study simply because a student holds it during the term.

Applicants should ask the financial aid office whether their program participates, how positions are advertised, and whether clinical schedules leave room for paid work. Supervised treatment hours required for a degree should not be assumed to be paid employment. For longer-term career planning, students can ask their program about documented clinical placements and practitioner connections rather than treating those experiences as verified job offers.
