Missouri Baptist University

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

The published cost of attending Missouri Baptist University is higher than tuition alone. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $31,530, with $1,592 in required fees, for $33,122 in tuition and fees before housing, food, books, transportation and personal expenses. The same reported undergraduate tuition and fee amounts applied to in-state and out-of-state students.

• 2024-25 published undergraduate tuition and required fees: $33,122 for a full-time academic year.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $1,139 per credit hour; other charges may apply.
• Average net price by family income: $24,022 for families earning up to $48,000 and $25,332 for families earning $48,001-$75,000, under the reported measure.

Net price estimates reflect average costs after applicable grant aid, not a quoted price for an individual applicant. The full cost-of-attendance budget also depends on whether a student lives on campus, commutes or supports a household. Applicants should compare their own aid offer and housing choice with the university's cost-of-attendance budget, rather than subtracting an average grant from tuition and treating the result as their bill.

Eligible students may use federal grants and loans, Missouri aid programs, institutional scholarships and, where applicable, military education benefits. The reported aid figures show that aid is common, but the type and amount depend on eligibility. Completing the FAFSA and checking scholarship conditions are distinct steps: receiving an award one year does not by itself establish renewal eligibility.

What are the work-study opportunities at Missouri Baptist University?

Students considering part-time work at Missouri Baptist University should distinguish a Federal Work-Study award from an ordinary campus job. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that generally requires FAFSA eligibility and an available position; it is earned through work rather than deducted automatically from a tuition bill.

Other student jobs may be funded outside Federal Work-Study and have different eligibility rules. Students should ask the financial aid office how work-study eligibility is determined and where current openings are posted. For career-related experience, the career services office can also help with internship searches and employer connections; an internship is not required of every MBU student.
