Missouri Valley College

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

For 2024-25, Missouri Valley College reported undergraduate tuition of $22,000 and required fees of $1,700 for full-time students, with the same listed amounts for Missouri residents and out-of-state students. Together, those charges were $23,700 before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $23,700 for 2024-25.
• Reported typical room and board: $11,800 for an academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $2,000.

Adding those reported categories gives approximately $37,500, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges can raise the total. Room and board charges also depend on the student's housing and meal choices. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $375 per credit hour; part-time students should check which fees apply to their schedules.

Published charges are not the same as the amount a student pays after aid. Reported average net prices varied by family-income group, including $15,854 for families earning up to $48,000 and $22,669 for those earning above $110,000. Those are averages after grant and scholarship aid, not individual quotes. The college reported that all students in the measured aid population received some form of financial aid, while 42% had student loans. Grants and scholarships do not generally require repayment; loans do. Eligible students may be considered for federal and state assistance as well as institutional aid, making an individualized aid offer essential to a realistic cost comparison.

What are the work-study opportunities at Missouri Valley College?

Missouri Valley College reports career-planning and job-search services for undergraduates, including individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, a job bank, job fairs, and on-campus employer recruitment. These are services students can use; they are not evidence that a job or internship is assured.

Students seeking paid work should distinguish ordinary part-time employment from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program for eligible students at participating institutions; an award generally authorizes a student to earn wages through qualifying work rather than delivering the full amount as an upfront grant. Availability of a position, hiring requirements, hours, and the effect on an aid package all require confirmation with the college's financial aid and hiring offices.

An internship serves a different purpose from a campus job and may be paid, unpaid, or taken for academic credit depending on the placement. Missouri Valley does not report a college-wide internship requirement. Students in career-focused majors should check whether their particular program has clinical, fieldwork, student-teaching, or internship requirements.
