This list will feature programs similar in price, or less than what an in-state student might budget for tuition, fees, housing, and meals at WWU. Please remember that you will also need to budget for flights, spending money, application fees, books, visa costs, etc., which can be calculated into your total cost of attendance if you have financial aid. Costs are subject to change, so double-check the information on the program website.
