2026–27 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 $1,937 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.

Discounted Summer Tuition by Credit Hour

Westminster provides affordable options for students to maintain academic progress and stay on track for timely graduation. The summer term offers a flexible and cost-effective opportunity for students to explore academic interests or continue progressing toward their degree.

Undergraduate students who pay full-time tuition during the academic year may be eligible for a reduced summer tuition rate per credit hour:

• Students who pay full-time undergraduate tuition for one semester (fall or spring) are eligible for a 50% reduction in the per-credit tuition rate for summer courses.
• Students who pay full-time undergraduate tuition for both fall and spring semesters are eligible for an 80% reduction in the per-credit tuition rate for summer courses.

The standard summer tuition rate is $1,937 per credit hour. Applicable reductions are applied to the per-credit rate, and the discounted rate is rounded to the nearest whole dollar before being multiplied by the number of enrolled credit hours to determine total tuition.

Students who are not enrolled full-time or who have not paid full-time tuition during the fall and/or spring semesters are not eligible for the reduced rate and will be charged the standard tuition rate.

The summer tuition rate reduction applies only to standard undergraduate programs billed at the published summer rates. It does not apply to the Bachelor of Business Administration program, year-round Nursing program, the IPSL program, or any other undergraduate program that is already offered at a discounted tuition rate.
