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

Limestone's 2024-25 published undergraduate tuition was $26,700 for full-time students, with $1,100 in required fees, regardless of in-state or out-of-state status. Together, those charges totaled $27,800 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses. They are historical prices, not a current offer of enrollment.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $27,800.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $1,113 per credit hour, before applicable fees.
  • Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $11,850; reported part-time graduate tuition was $650 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

Published charges differ from what a student pays after grants and scholarships. In the reported aid figures, 99% of students received financial aid, and 68% had student loans; loans must generally be repaid. The reported average net price was $15,920 for students from families earning no more than $48,000 and $23,320 for those from families earning above $110,000. Those averages include aid and are not individualized bills. Students displaced by closure need a new cost estimate and financial-aid offer from each institution they consider.

What are the work-study opportunities at Limestone University?

Limestone University no longer offers on-campus student jobs or Federal Work-Study placements to new students. Someone continuing elsewhere must establish eligibility and seek employment through the receiving institution's financial-aid and student-employment processes.

Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program that pays eligible students for work performed; an award does not by itself place a student in a job. An ordinary campus job may use different funding, while an internship is primarily an academic or career-development arrangement and may be paid or unpaid. Former Limestone students should not assume that a previous work-study award or job transfers with their credits.
