Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $16,427, with $1,532 in required fees, for a combined $17,959 in tuition and fees. The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts were the same. A part-time undergraduate rate of $608 per credit hour was reported, but a part-time student's actual bill can also include applicable fees.

Graduate costs are different: reported full-time graduate tuition and required fees totaled $22,985 for 2024-25. Because health programs may have laboratory, equipment, examination, or clinical-related expenses, applicants should use their program's current billing schedule rather than treating an institution-wide average as a final quote.

Tuition and fees are only part of the annual cost of attendance. Students also need to budget for books and supplies, transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses. The reported books-and-supplies estimate was $1,200. A reported room-and-board amount should be treated as a living-cost estimate, not as the price of a FranU residence hall: the institution does not report college-operated undergraduate housing.

Financial aid changes the amount a student ultimately pays. Reported aid figures indicate that 97% of students received financial aid and 49% used student loans. Federal grants, eligible Louisiana aid, institutional scholarships, and federal loans have different eligibility rules; students ordinarily begin the federal-aid process with the FAFSA. The reported average net price for families with annual income of $0-$48,000 was $18,008, but an individual award can differ substantially. Compare a personalized aid offer with a budget that includes commuting and any program-specific expenses, and distinguish grants from loans that must be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University?

Students can explore employment alongside their studies, but a job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study, if included in a student's aid package, provides eligibility to seek qualifying paid work; it is not money automatically credited to a tuition bill or a guarantee of a position.

FranU reports career and interest testing, individual and group career planning for undergraduates, job fairs, and on-campus employer recruitment. Those services may help students explore work and build contacts, but they are not employment outcomes. A student seeking campus work should ask the financial-aid office how qualifying positions are advertised and whether a Work-Study award is required for a particular vacancy.

For health majors, a paid job should also be evaluated against course and clinical schedules. Required clinical learning is not necessarily paid employment, and an unrelated part-time job does not replace a program's supervised practice requirements.
