Southwestern College-New Mexico

What is the cost of studying for a year at Southwestern College-New Mexico?

The reported 2024-25 graduate tuition figures show the same in-state and out-of-state charges at Southwestern College-New Mexico. These are published educational charges, not an individual student's full cost of attendance or final price after aid.

• Average full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $20,036 for both in-state and out-of-state students.
• Required full-time graduate fees, 2024-25: $1,200 for both in-state and out-of-state students.
• Reported part-time graduate tuition charge, 2024-25: $731 per credit hour for both in-state and out-of-state students.

A full-time student would need to budget beyond tuition and required fees for books, supplies, transportation, and living expenses. Program-specific course loads and any additional charges can also change the bill. For a usable comparison, request a current program cost estimate that separates billed charges from living expenses, then review the aid offer to calculate the amount that would remain to pay or borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Southwestern College-New Mexico?

Prospective students should distinguish a paid job from Federal Work-Study, which is a need-based financial aid program that requires eligible employment. A work-study award, if offered, does not itself mean a job has been secured.

Students interested in work-study or other campus employment should ask Southwestern College's financial aid office whether positions are offered for their program, how eligibility is determined, and where openings are posted. Clinical placements, practicums, and internships should be evaluated separately: required professional training is not necessarily paid employment.
