Stevens-The Institute of Business & Arts

What is the cost of studying for a year at Stevens-The Institute of Business & Arts?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was the same for Missouri residents and out-of-state students. The published tuition figure is a starting point, not a complete estimate of what a student will spend or ultimately owe.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $14,332 for the academic year.
• Reported required undergraduate fees: $0.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $315 per credit hour.

Students also need to budget for books and materials, transportation, food, and housing. Because the institution does not offer college-operated housing, those living expenses will depend substantially on personal arrangements. A school-issued cost-of-attendance estimate can bring these expenses together without treating tuition as the entire bill.

Financial aid can change the amount a student pays, but grants and loans have different effects. In 2024-25 reporting, all students in the measured aid group received financial aid, while 80% had student loans; the average undergraduate grant award from reported sources was $5,978. Those group figures are not an individual aid offer. Eligible applicants should complete the FAFSA and review the resulting aid package for grants, borrowing, and any remaining costs, as well as ask about applicable Missouri aid and veterans' education benefits.

What are the work-study opportunities at Stevens-The Institute of Business & Arts?

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

The financial-aid office can confirm whether the institution participates in Work-Study for the student's award year, how eligibility is determined through the FAFSA, and how openings are advertised. Students can also use career services to search for other employment. Reported services include a job bank, résumé assistance, interview preparation, employer referrals, career counseling, job fairs, and on-campus recruitment; access to these services should not be confused with a job offer.
