For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Watts College of Nursing was $20,560, with $1,936 in required fees. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state students, making tuition and required fees $22,496 before other expenses.
Those figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance. Students also need to budget for housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses; nursing students should check the current schedule for any required supplies, screenings, or other program charges. The average undergraduate grant award reported for 2024-25 was $2,648, but an average is not a personal aid offer. The same reporting showed a 100% loan-recipient share for its measured group, making it particularly important to compare an individual aid offer's grants and loans before calculating what must be paid or borrowed.
Paid work during nursing school needs to fit around classes, skills practice, and clinical assignments. Students considering Federal Work-Study should ask Watts's financial-aid office whether they can receive a work-study award and, if so, how to apply for eligible positions.
Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program: an award generally provides an opportunity to earn wages through an approved job, not an automatic payment of the full award amount. Ordinary part-time employment is different and does not require a work-study award. Applicants should also ask how far in advance clinical schedules are issued before committing to fixed work hours.
