What is the cost of studying for a year at Washington University of Science and Technology?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, WUST's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $13,365, with $420 in required fees, for a combined $13,785 before living expenses. The reported tuition and required fees were the same for in-state and out-of-state students.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $10,500 for 2025-26.
  • Full-time graduate tuition and required fees: $12,300 for 2025-26.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition: $330 per credit, before applicable fees.
  • Part-time graduate tuition: $440 per credit, before applicable fees.

Those amounts are not a complete annual cost of attendance. A student may also need to budget for housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses. Because WUST does not report college-operated undergraduate housing, a separate room-and-board figure should not be mistaken for the price of a WUST residence hall. Published figures for other reporting periods also differ; students should use the tuition schedule and individualized cost estimate for their actual entry term rather than combine amounts from different years.

Financial assistance can change what an eligible student pays, but reported 2024-25 aid figures do not establish a dependable net price for a new applicant. The institution reported no students receiving financial aid or student loans in the relevant reported measures. Applicants should obtain a written explanation of their own eligibility and estimated charges rather than assume that a grant or federal loan will be available.

What are the work-study opportunities at Washington University of Science and Technology?

A part-time job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program that can support eligible student employment only when the institution participates and the student receives an award; ordinary employment does not require a Work-Study award.

Prospective WUST students interested in earning money during school should ask the financial-aid office whether Federal Work-Study is available for their program and term, and ask the relevant student-services office how paid campus positions are advertised. For career-related work, they should ask their academic program how internships are approved and whether internship credit carries additional tuition. None of these opportunities should be included in a personal budget until an award or job offer is confirmed.
