Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

Westminster is a private school so there is a little more buck involved, but I definitely think it is worth it. All of my teachers know my name which was one reason that I decided to attend Westminster over a larger (and cheaper) school. Every class I have this semester is taught by a PhD which is nice since I know it is a quality education I am receiving.
Siri from Hibbing, MN
I am sure a lot of people have looked at the price tag for Westminster and immediately said no way that's to expensive. Really in the long run Westminster is a great value. The teachers provide challenging class work, so you know your receiving a quality education. While yes campus is small but there are always events going on that are free to students. So you can directly see and benefit from many of the things your tuition goes toward. All of the clubs and organizations offer wonderful leadership and skill building opportunities to help you pad your resume for after graduation. At the end of the day Westminster College is a great value for all of the wonderful experiences you will have in your four years here.
Layle from Grove City, OH
Hands down Westminster College is definitely worth attending even if you just want to go for a year. although I do hope you can stay for all 4 years or more. I am actually considering to stay here for 5 years. tuition here is 28,610 a year plus the campus is pretty spacious and beautiful. You will feel comfortable if you choose to attend westminster and not want to leave. not only that but you learn so much whether it is on or off campus. You will learn time management and become responsible and grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. Words cannot really explain westminster to you, this is something that you really need to experience for yourself.
