St. Joseph's College of Nursing

What is the cost of studying for a year at St. Joseph's College of Nursing?

The published price of attending St. Joseph's College of Nursing includes more than tuition. For the 2024-25 reporting year, the reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $22,356 for the reporting year.
• Required undergraduate fees: $1,460 for the reporting year.
• Combined tuition and required fees from those two figures: $23,816, before living and other expenses.
• Reported part-time tuition: $621 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

A separate published full-time tuition figure of $24,440 comes from a different reporting source and should not be added to the 2024-25 figures or treated as the price for the same year. Books and supplies were reported at about $1,505; students also need to budget for housing or commuting, food, and program-related expenses. An individual aid offer, rather than the sticker price, determines what a student must cover through savings, work, or borrowing.

Federal and state grants, institutional assistance, scholarships, and federal loans may be available to eligible students. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $8,307, but an average is not an individual offer. A large share of students reportedly used loans, so applicants should review the amounts and repayment terms in their own aid package. Completing the FAFSA and checking New York State aid eligibility are practical first steps; veterans and eligible dependents should also ask how their education benefits apply.

What are the work-study opportunities at St. Joseph's College of Nursing?

Students considering paid work should distinguish a part-time job from a nursing clinical placement. Clinical work is part of professional education and should not be assumed to provide wages or replace an outside source of income.

Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's financial aid offer, is earned through qualifying employment rather than paid as an automatic grant. Applicants who want work while enrolled should ask the financial aid office whether they are eligible, which positions are available, and how many hours are realistic alongside clinical assignments.

For career development, the college reports offering individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment, and individual placement assistance to undergraduates. These services may help with a job search, but they are not employment guarantees. Students can ask when career advising begins and how it supports the transition from clinical education to applying for registered-nurse positions.
