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.

What Students Are Saying
It's college. College is expensive. For the level of education, the price is fair.
Madelyn from Beaverton, OR
Being that I will become a nurse, I know that spending money on college is worth it.
Sarah from Junction City, OR
As any college, it seems expensive, but for what you're getting it is definitely worth it! Everyone is willing to help you with saving money, through books or class projects.
Katie from Sandy, OR
For your basic required classes, you are getting the same information from more invested teachers at a much lower cost. For your specialty classes- Western is known for Education, Criminal Justice, and American Sign Language- you are getting one-of-a-kind experience at a lower price than any other college in Oregon.
Lindsay from Monmouth, OR
I wasn't expecting the campus to be so nice. Don't even get me started on the gym! It's awesome.
Jazmin from Monmouth, OR
Education is getting more and more expensive, but they seem to be making an effort to keep costs down while offering a good education here at WOU.
