Galen College of Nursing-Dallas

What is the cost of studying for a year at Galen College of Nursing-Dallas?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Galen College of Nursing-Dallas was $16,848 for both in-state and out-of-state students, with $200 in required fees. Together, those published charges equal $17,048 before books and living expenses. Part-time tuition was reported at $448 per credit hour; an individual bill depends on course load and program charges.

• Full-time tuition and required fees: $17,048 for 2024-25.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,350.
• Reported room and board allowance: $17,028; this is a living-cost estimate, not a campus housing bill.

Adding those three amounts produces an illustrative $35,426, before transportation, personal expenses, or any other applicable costs. It should not be mistaken for every student's official cost of attendance. In particular, a student living at home may face different living costs, while clinical travel can add expenses.

Financial aid changes what a student pays but does not necessarily eliminate borrowing. In 2024-25, 89% of students received financial aid and 82% had student loans. Average grant aid from federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources was $5,984. Reported average net prices for lower-income families were above $31,000; net price is an average after grant aid, not an individualized quote. Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, applicable state or institutional assistance, and military education benefits through the financial-aid process. A current, program-specific aid offer is the best basis for comparing the amount to finance.

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

Students interested in working while attending Galen College of Nursing-Dallas should distinguish a part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based federal aid for eligible students who obtain qualifying employment; an aid offer or general permission to work does not itself provide a job.

The financial-aid office can clarify whether a student has Work-Study eligibility and what positions can be pursued. Other part-time employment is arranged under an employer's hiring rules rather than through the aid program. Either option should be weighed against nursing labs and clinical shifts, which may leave less scheduling flexibility than lecture courses alone. Career-oriented employment and internships likewise do not automatically satisfy required clinical hours.
