2023–24 Undergraduate Tuition and Fees

Each semester is billed according to the number of credit hours you're registered for in that semester. Waitlisted classes are not billed until you are officially added to the class.

Full-time registration is 12 or more credits in a semester. Westminster scholarships and federal student aid usually require full-time enrollment.

For each credit above 16, there is an additional charge of $1,638 per credit hour for tuition. See the following tuition and fees chart for a complete breakdown by credit hour of total semester charges. Additional fees may apply for certain classes including, but not limited to, nursing, education, photography, and private music lessons.

Discount Credits

Westminster provides affordable options for students to maintain academic progress toward timely graduation. The summer term study model is a sustainable way for Westminster to provide affordable academic opportunities for students who want to explore engaging topics and/or to remain on track for graduation.

Payment of full-time undergraduate tuition for one semester fall or spring earns a 50% tuition rate reduction on your summer tuition. Payment of full-time undergraduate fall and spring tuition earns you an 80% rate reduction on your summer tuition rate.

If you are not full-time or have not paid your tuition for the fall or spring semesters, the rate reduction will not apply and you will be responsible for the charges.

The summer term rate reduction is only applicable to regular undergraduate programs for students charged at the rates listed in the summer tuition chart. They do not apply to the RN-to-BS in Nursing or Bachelor of Business Administration programs, or any other undergraduate program that is billed at an already discounted rate.
