The Chicago School at Dallas

What is the cost of studying for a year at The Chicago School at Dallas?

The Chicago School's published 2024-25 tuition and required-fee figures show substantially different costs for undergraduate and graduate study. They are historical academic-year figures, not a quote for a new enrollment term.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $19,512, plus $2,268 in required fees, for $21,780 in tuition and required fees.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $542 per credit hour in the reported schedule.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $33,816, plus $1,512 in required fees, for $35,328 in tuition and required fees.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $1,409 per credit hour in the reported schedule.

The reported in-state and out-of-state amounts are the same within each of these categories. A full annual budget also needs to account for housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses; the tuition-and-fee totals above do not include them. Program-specific charges and the number of credits taken can change a student's bill. Compare a current program-specific cost-of-attendance estimate with the financial aid offer rather than treating published tuition as either the full cost or the final amount owed.

Eligible students may be able to use federal aid, institutional assistance, or military education benefits. Aid depends on factors such as program eligibility and the student's circumstances. The 2024-25 undergraduate reporting lists an average grant award of $2,099 among the students included in that measure, but an average is not an individual award estimate and should not be subtracted automatically from every applicant's bill.

What are the work-study opportunities at The Chicago School at Dallas?

Work while enrolled is possible to investigate at The Chicago School, but Federal Work-Study, an ordinary part-time job, and a required practicum are different arrangements. Applicants should confirm which, if any, apply to their program and financial aid package.

Federal Work-Study is need-based aid earned through an eligible job; an award is not an upfront tuition discount or a guarantee of a position. Students considering it should ask the financial aid office about eligibility and how to find approved openings. A regular job need not be part of the federal program, while a practicum may be required for academic or professional training and may have different pay arrangements.

Career development is another distinct form of support. Students can ask the program and career-services staff about résumé reviews, interview preparation, job-search resources, and assistance locating training opportunities. The most useful question for a clinical applicant is often how the program approves placements and supports students through the placement process - not simply whether jobs exist in the region.
