Pacific College of Health and Science-Illinois

What is the cost of studying for a year at Pacific College of Health and Science-Illinois?

In 2024-25 IPEDS figures, full-time undergraduate tuition at Pacific College of Health and Science-Illinois was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. The figures below are published tuition and required fees, not a complete estimate of what it costs to live and study in Chicago.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $7,268; required fees: $240.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $295 per credit hour.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $16,220; required fees: $240.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $480 per credit hour.

Students should budget separately for housing, food, books and supplies, transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific materials or clinical costs. Tuition may also be charged differently for a particular credential or enrollment pattern, so the relevant comparison is the current program's tuition schedule and its full cost-of-attendance estimate for the student's academic year.

Published tuition is not the same as net price: grants or scholarships may lower what a student pays, while borrowing spreads payment over time rather than reducing the underlying cost. In 2024-25 reporting, 11% of students were recorded as having student loans. That share does not indicate what a new applicant will qualify to borrow or ultimately owe.

What are the work-study opportunities at Pacific College of Health and Science-Illinois?

Students considering paid work alongside Pacific College should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, when available to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid in advance or a guarantee of employment.

The financial aid office is the appropriate place to ask whether a particular Chicago program and student are eligible for Work-Study and how approved positions are posted. Applicants should also compare potential work hours with required classes and clinical shifts. A supervised clinical placement may build professional experience without being a paid student job.
