• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $10,392
• Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $672
• Part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $433 per credit hour

These amounts are not a complete cost of attendance. Students may also need to budget for supplies, commuting, and clinical-program requirements. Because the college does not provide college-operated housing, a student's living costs will depend on their own arrangements rather than a campus room assignment.

Financial aid changes the amount an individual pays. In 2024-25 reporting, 78% of students received financial aid, while 61% had student loans. The average grant award reported across federal, state, local, institutional, and other sources was $7,054; an average award is not an amount promised to every applicant. Eligible students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and ask the financial-aid office about federal grants and loans, Missouri assistance, institutional scholarships, and applicable military education benefits. Compare an individual aid offer with a full budget, not tuition alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Southeast Missouri Hospital College of Nursing and Health Sciences?

Part-time employment and Federal Work-Study are different ways to earn money while enrolled. Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is a need-based federal aid program: an award generally allows the student to earn wages through an approved job rather than providing the full amount upfront.

Students should check their aid offer and ask the financial-aid office whether Work-Study positions are available, how jobs are posted, and whether any off-campus positions qualify. Ordinary part-time employment does not require a Work-Study award. For students in clinical programs, the practical issue is whether work hours can accommodate classes, labs, travel, and assigned clinical shifts.
