MidAmerica Nazarene University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at MidAmerica Nazarene University was $36,174, with $1,000 in required fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition and mandatory fees therefore totaled $37,174 before housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

The following 2024-25 amounts illustrate major annual charges and estimates; they should not be confused with an individual financial-aid offer:

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $37,174.
• Typical room and board charges: $12,192 combined.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,456.

Adding those three categories produces $50,822, but it is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation and personal expenses can add to it, and actual housing or course-material costs can differ. Reported graduate tuition and fees use a different rate and should not be substituted into an undergraduate estimate.

Aid can substantially change the amount a family pays. In the reported aid figures, 100% of students in the measured group received financial aid, while 52% used student loans. The reported average grant aid to undergraduates was $22,787, but an average award is not a promised discount. Average net price also varies by family income: it was $27,294 for families earning $48,000 or less and $37,571 for families earning more than $110,000. Net price generally reflects costs after grant and scholarship aid, not after loans that must be repaid.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Kansas aid, and institutional scholarships by completing the relevant aid applications and meeting applicable deadlines. Veterans and eligible family members should also ask how military education benefits interact with other assistance. The most useful comparison is a personalized aid offer and full cost-of-attendance budget for the same academic year.

What are the work-study opportunities at MidAmerica Nazarene University?

MidAmerica Nazarene University students can explore part-time employment alongside their studies, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and an internship are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid that allows an eligible student to earn wages through approved work; it is not an upfront reduction in the tuition bill or a guarantee of a position.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how to find approved openings. Students without Work-Study may still seek ordinary part-time work, subject to employer hiring rules. For either route, the practical questions are the hourly pay, available hours, commute, and whether the schedule accommodates classes or clinical placements.

MNU's reported career services include résumé preparation, interview workshops, career counseling, job fairs, and contact with employers. These can support a search for internships or career-related work, but an internship is not required of every student. Program-specific internships or field experiences should be confirmed with the relevant department.
