* Tuition for the MBA and Master of Accountancy (MAcc) programs is cohort-based, all-inclusive, and fixed at enrollment for up to 5 years, provided the student remains active (no more than one semester off). Tuition includes all course materials; MBA tuition also includes a required international experience. Additional prerequisite coursework is billed separately at the applicable rate.

Non-cohort graduate programs are subject to annual tuition increases.

Once you have registered for courses, you can view any fees charged to you for that semester in Self-Service.

A $15 per credit hour fee is assessed per credit hour for all graduate programs. A portion of this fee ($7) will cover programming designed to better support the graduate student network and to contribute to graduate commencement. The remaining fee ($8) is a technology fee.

Your cost of attendance will vary based upon which program you are enrolled in. Graduate cost of attendance is based on 2 semesters and taking at least 4 credit hours per semester as a student living off campus. The breakdown includes costs paid directly to Westminster (tuition and fees) as well as estimates of other expenses you may incur that vary and are not paid to Westminster (room and board, books and supplies, transportation, personal expenses, and the Federal Direct Student Loan Fee).

Graduate tuition and fees are dependent upon which program you are in and how many credit hours you are taking. See the current per credit hour cost for the program you are interested in enrolling in to determine the total cost of your tuition and fees for the number of credit hours you plan to take. International students are required to take 7 credits per semester to maintain full-time status for student visa requirements.

To determine your estimated total cost of attendance, add your total cost for tuition and fees to the estimated costs for room and board, transportation, and personal expenses.

If you are an international student and need help calculating your cost of attendance, email the International Admissions Office (international@westminsteru.edu).
