What is the cost of studying for a year at Laurel Business Institute?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Laurel Business Institute's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $12,668, with $1,045 in required fees. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Part-time tuition was reported at $365 per credit hour.

  • Full-time tuition and required fees, using those reported figures: $13,713 before other expenses.
  • Books, supplies, transportation, living expenses and any program-specific charges must be considered separately.

Those tuition and fee figures are not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate or a promise of what an individual will pay. Program length and enrollment intensity can change the bill. In the same reporting set, the average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $5,672. Net price reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid for a defined group; it is not a personalized quote and should not be subtracted from tuition a second time.

Financial aid is significant to the calculation: 92% of students reportedly received aid, while 72% received student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $8,214. Grants generally do not need repayment, whereas loans do. An applicant's financial aid offer and program-specific expense estimate are the useful documents for comparing likely out-of-pocket costs.

What are the work-study opportunities at Laurel Business Institute?

Laurel Business Institute reports an internship requirement for students and provides career-related assistance, but an internship is not the same as a paid student job or Federal Work-Study. Students should establish whether their particular placement is paid, how it is assigned and whether travel or other expenses are involved.

Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job rather than a grant credited automatically to tuition. Applicants interested in employment during school should ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study appears in their award and ask the career office about ordinary part-time positions. Neither an aid award nor a required internship should be treated as a guarantee of employment.
