Affordability

Can an adult student who has other financial responsibilities afford a Whitworth University education? Yes! With Whitworth’s discounted tuition for its evening bachelor’s degree programs, a highly-regarded private university education is within reach. 

Even with Whitworth’s competitive tuition and financial aid for working adults, getting a degree is a significant investment. But it’s an investment that pays big returns year after year. University graduates earn, on average, almost double the annual salary of those without a bachelor’s degree.

It’s hard to put a price on the sense of achievement you feel crossing the stage to receive your diploma. Whitworth’s accelerated-format courses get you to graduation day — and to bigger paydays — sooner than traditional university schedules. Start investing in yourself today.

Tuition for the 2009-10 Academic Year
The good news: For all accelerated-format classes, tuition includes all books and course materials, as well as related fees. Books and other materials are delivered to you on your first night of class, too!

Accelerated-format classes: $430 per semester credit.

Employer Reimbursement
Check with your employer about tuition benefits. Even if your company does not have a formal policy of paying tuition benefits, some of our students have received education benefits by showing their supervisors the value their education will bring to their jobs.

If you have tuition benefits through your employer, Whitworth will accept payment when your company pays, usually at the end of the term. This means you don't have to pay your tuition up front; contact the Whitworth University Student Accounting Services Office, 509.777.3209, for details.

Financial Aid
Financial aid is available for adult students; full-time and part-time students may qualify. Visit the university's financial aid website for more information about financial aid for adult undergraduate-degree programs.
