What is the cost of studying for a year at Methodist College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $16,248, with $1,760 in required fees, for $18,008 in tuition and required fees. The reported figures were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. Books and supplies were estimated at $2,000.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $18,008 for 2024-25.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $677 per credit hour, before applicable fees.
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees: $15,762 for 2024-25; program-specific charges may differ.

These figures are not a complete annual budget. Housing, food, transportation, personal expenses, and any program or clinical costs can materially change the amount a student needs. Students should use the cost-of-attendance budget and aid offer for their own program and enrollment intensity rather than add expenses from different reporting years to these tuition figures.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays but may include money that must be repaid. In the reported aid figures, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 82% used student loans. The average grant award reported for undergraduates was $10,726; an individual award may be very different. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Illinois assistance, institutional awards, and applicable military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing the resulting aid offer are essential to distinguishing grants and scholarships from borrowing.

What are the work-study opportunities at Methodist College?

Methodist College students can pursue employment while enrolled, but a part-time job should not be mistaken for a guaranteed component of financial aid. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a need-based aid program under which the student earns wages through an approved job; the award is not ordinarily paid in full at the start of a term.

Students interested in Work-Study should submit the FAFSA, check whether it appears on their individual aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how to find and apply for eligible positions. Other campus or community jobs may follow different hiring rules and need not be tied to financial need. For career-related experience, the college's reported counseling, job bank, employer recruitment, and job fairs provide a separate starting point; an internship or clinical placement is not necessarily a paid student job.
