• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $34,936.
• Required undergraduate fees: $650.
• Typical room charge: $6,044.
• Typical board charge: $7,564.

These are published 2024-25 charges, not a personalized bill or a complete cost-of-attendance estimate. Room and dining charges depend on the student's arrangements; commuters may face different housing and transportation costs. In the same reporting context, average net price after grant aid varied by family income: $14,020 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $22,379 for those above $110,000. An average is not an aid offer. Applicants should compare their own aid award, expected borrowing, and living expenses before deciding what they can afford.

What are the work-study opportunities at North Carolina Wesleyan University?

Students seeking part-time work should distinguish a Federal Work-Study award from an ordinary campus job. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid for eligible students; an award sets a potential earnings amount but does not itself place a student in a position or pay the full award upfront.

Students should review their financial aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and ask where North Carolina Wesleyan posts student positions, how hiring works, and whether jobs fit their class schedules. Other part-time employment may be available without Work-Study eligibility, but pay and hiring conditions can differ. Internships are another route to experience: the university does not report a university-wide internship requirement, so students should check whether their specific major requires one and whether it is paid.
