Wayland Baptist University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Wayland Baptist University?

For 2024-25, Wayland Baptist University reported $22,054 in annual full-time undergraduate tuition and $1,728 in required fees, for $23,782 before housing, meals and other expenses. The reported in-state and out-of-state undergraduate tuition amounts were the same. These published charges are not what every student ultimately pays after aid.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $23,782.
• Reported annual room and board: $10,214, consisting of $3,400 for a typical room and $6,814 for a typical board charge.
• Reported books and supplies: $672.

Those three categories total $34,668, but that arithmetic is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific costs would add to it. Actual housing and meal choices can also change the bill. Part-time students should compare credit-hour charges and fees rather than using the full-time annual tuition figure.

Financial aid changes the picture, but averages are not individual offers. In the reported aid data, 95% of the relevant students received financial aid and 50% used student loans. Average net price varied by family income: it was $16,344 for the reported $0-$48,000 income band and $25,435 for families above $110,000. Net price estimates reflect costs after applicable grant aid, not an assurance that a particular applicant will receive that amount. Eligible students can investigate federal grants and loans, institutional scholarships, and applicable military education benefits through the university's financial aid process.

What are the work-study opportunities at Wayland Baptist University?

Students seeking paid work at Wayland Baptist University should distinguish Federal Work-Study from other part-time employment. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students with qualifying jobs; an award establishes possible eligibility to earn wages, not a guaranteed job or an automatic reduction to the tuition bill.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the financial aid application process, review their aid offer and ask the financial aid office how available positions are posted and filled. Other campus jobs, if offered, may use different funding and eligibility rules. Off-campus employment and internships are separate arrangements, even when they help a student develop career-related experience.

Students looking for career guidance should ask their academic program and the university's student-support offices which advising, internship or employer-contact services are available at their location. A general statement that a university prepares students for work is not evidence of a particular job-placement service or employment outcome.
