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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Wheeling University was $29,090, with $785 in required fees. The published tuition rate was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Reported room and board charges totaled $13,520 for the academic year.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $29,875.
• Reported room and board: $13,520.
• Combined tuition, required fees, room, and board: $43,395 before books, transportation, personal expenses, and aid.

That combined figure is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate or a bill for every student. Housing choices and course-related expenses can change the amount. Part-time undergraduates were reported at $735 per credit hour; graduate tuition and fees follow a different schedule.

Financial aid can substantially change what a student pays. In 2024-25, 99% of students in the reported aid measure received financial aid, and recipients of grant aid averaged $22,560 in grants from federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources. Grants generally do not need repayment, while loans do; 61% of students in the reported measure used student loans. Individual net price depends on eligibility and the actual aid offer, so applicants should compare written offers using the same housing and enrollment assumptions.

What are the work-study opportunities at Wheeling University?

Wheeling University students may seek part-time work while enrolled, but a campus job, a Federal Work-Study award, and a required academic internship are different arrangements. None should be assumed to be included in an admission offer.

Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students, generally determined through the FAFSA. An award permits a student to seek an eligible job; it does not guarantee a position or pay the full award in advance. Ordinary campus employment may have different eligibility and funding rules. Applicants who expect earnings to help cover expenses should ask the financial aid office how jobs are posted, when hiring occurs, and whether available positions fit their class schedule.

For career-related experience, the university reports internship support and career services such as individual planning, résumé help, interview workshops, job listings, and employer recruitment. Students should distinguish a paid position from an unpaid or credit-bearing placement when calculating what they can afford.
