Whitworth University-Adult Degree Programs

What is the cost of studying for a year at Whitworth University-Adult Degree Programs?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Whitworth's adult-program tuition was listed at $565 per credit for part-time undergraduates and $13,560 for full-time undergraduates, with no required undergraduate fees reported in those figures. In-state and out-of-state tuition were the same. The full-time figure corresponds to 24 credits at the stated per-credit rate, but an individual bill depends on the credits taken and the current published schedule.

• Part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $565 per credit.
• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $13,560.
• Reported required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $0.

Whitworth also has much higher published tuition figures associated with its traditional undergraduate operation. Those figures should not be substituted for the adult-program rate or combined with adult-program tuition in a single annual estimate. Similarly, a traditional residential room-and-board figure is not an automatic charge for an adult commuter.

A realistic budget adds books, technology, transportation and personal expenses to the tuition for the student's actual course load. Financial aid can reduce what a student pays directly, but loans must generally be repaid. In 2024-25 reporting, the average undergraduate grant award was $10,685 among recipients, and 60% of students received student loans; neither figure predicts an individual aid package.

What are the work-study opportunities at Whitworth University-Adult Degree Programs?

Adult students may be able to combine paid work with study, but Federal Work-Study and an ordinary part-time job are not the same thing. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students and requires a qualifying job; an award does not by itself place a student in a position. Other campus jobs may be open to students without a Work-Study award.

Whitworth's financial-aid and student-employment offices can explain eligibility, available positions and how earnings are paid. Applicants should ask whether their planned enrollment level meets aid requirements and whether job hours fit evening, online or accelerated classes. An internship or required teaching placement may provide relevant experience, but it should not be assumed to be paid employment or Work-Study.

For career planning, students should distinguish access to university career services - such as job-search guidance, application review or employer events - from a verified employment outcome. An adult learner should check which appointments and events are available remotely or outside regular business hours.
