What is the cost of studying for a year at Frontier Nursing University?

Frontier Nursing University's published graduate costs require attention to both tuition and fees. For 2024-25, the reported full-time graduate tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students:

  • Full-time graduate tuition: $17,755 for the academic year.
  • Required full-time graduate fees: $2,705 for the academic year.
  • Part-time graduate tuition: $709 per credit hour for in-state and out-of-state students.

Tuition plus required fees for a full-time graduate student in that reporting year totaled $20,460. That figure is not a complete cost of attendance: books, equipment, travel to campus, clinical-placement expenses, housing, food, transportation, and personal costs can add to the budget. It should not be combined with a per-credit charge to produce an annual estimate without knowing the student's enrollment plan.

For an applicant planning to enroll after 2024-25, the current program-specific tuition schedule and a personalized aid offer matter more than this historical benchmark. Published charges are also different from net cost after any scholarships or other assistance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Frontier Nursing University?

Frontier Nursing University's distance-learning format may allow some nurses to continue working while enrolled, but employment must fit around coursework, campus visits, and clinical training. A required clinical placement is an educational requirement, not automatically a paid job.

Federal Work-Study, when offered and awarded to an eligible student, pays wages for approved work; it is not an upfront discount on tuition. Applicants interested in student employment should ask the financial aid office whether they can be considered for Work-Study and how jobs are found. They should make a separate plan for the time clinical hours may take away from paid nursing shifts.
