Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School

What is the cost of studying for a year at Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School?

For 2024-25, reported full-time graduate tuition was $29,015, with $543 in required fees, for a combined published amount of $29,558. The reported figures were the same for in-state and out-of-state graduate students. They are tuition-and-fee figures, not a complete estimate of living expenses.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $29,015.
• Required graduate fees, 2024-25: $543.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $829 per credit hour.

A student's full budget may also include books, technology, transportation, housing, food, and expenses associated with clinical training. Part-time students should calculate tuition using the credits in their actual course plan rather than treating the full-time annual figure as their bill. Grants or scholarships may reduce what a student pays; loans can cover current expenses but must generally be repaid.

Graduate students may be eligible for federal student loans if they meet federal and institutional requirements. Applicants should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and ask the financial aid office which institutional assistance, outside scholarships, and military education benefits can apply to their particular program. Reported graduate military benefits averaged $9,991 among recipients in the 2024-25 data; that average is not an award amount promised to any individual student.

What are the work-study opportunities at Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School?

Paid work, Federal Work-Study, and clinical field training are different arrangements. Students should not assume that a required practicum or internship is paid, or that admission automatically provides a campus job.

Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job rather than a grant credited in full at the start of a term. Ordinary part-time employment does not require a Work-Study award. Students balancing employment with graduate study should ask how course scheduling, placement hours, and supervision requirements affect the number of hours they can realistically work.
