Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

West Texas is a great school for everyone. They have a medium size campus that is beautiful and they are always adding to it.

Here at WT we have over 100 organizations to get involved with including Greeks! Come take a tour today and DISCOVER THE BUFF IN YOU!

TREVOR from Aztec, NM
At West Texas A&M University, when you pay for your classes and tuition, you don't get a faculty that is there because they have nothing better to do. You get professors that love what they do and genuinely care about their students.
You also pay fees that are actually profitable (for the most part). If you are from home and don't have a doctor, there is a student health center that can figure out what is wrong with you and prescribe medications. Also, there is a gym, library, and computer lab that is included into your fees so you have free access whenever you need it. You don't have to go elsewhere and pay extra for those luxuries.
You also get into any sporting events for free, but that's just a bonus.
You pay very little for so much.
