Cost of WT
College is an investment in you and your future, and we want to help you make the best decision. Both current and prospective students should take advantage of ECU Buff $mart, our financial literacy program designed to assist in helping make the best college choices for you.
WT offers one of the most affordable tuition rates in the state of Texas, and in many cases, our tuition for out-of-state students is lower than the tuition of the student's home state universities. WT has also announced a new no-cost-to-student textbook program. Starting Fall 2024, textbooks and other educational resources will be provided free of charge for roughly the first 60 hours of classes.
Through our Beat Any Offer initiative, WT intends to beat any offer from another four-year college or university in the United States. ECU Buff $mart is happy to help review offers from other colleges. See details below.
