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.

What Students Are Saying
The tuition is not as bad as i thought it would have been (10,000 a year) comparing to many of the other Universities/colleges. My friends are paying about 30,000 - 50,000 a year for the same exact classes and education.
Deziree from Paterson, NJ
It is a great school and they provide really great programs. The school is not all that expensive compared to others, and it does helps teach the same if not better then some even more expensive schools.
Jordan from Manalapan, NJ
Awesome deal! My siblings schools are way more expensive and frankly, I believe education is what you make of it- and William Paterson is a wonderful school and a great way to receive an education without drowning yourself in student loans.
Shannon from Hillsdale, NJ
It is definitely worth you money ! no other school will give a more social life - maybe other than rutgers. but still WPU is top ranked.
Asempa from Newark, NJ
not too expensive like other schools.
Monae from Neptune, NJ
You'll learn more than you imagined.
Kierra from Newark, NJ
over all, i am very glad that i joined this school because i feel like i really am going to be prepared for the professional life after school. lots of our teachers have been working in their field for many years and can therefore give us many real life examples of the things we are studying.
Jagoda from Germany
Will deffinitly get your money's worth here. WPU is also a lot more up to date and modern compared to some of these private colleges that you practically have to sell a kidney in order to afford.
