Cost of attendence – masters Degree

The standard 2026–2027 Cost of Attendance shown below is based on a full-time master’s student enrolled in 9 credit hours during the Fall semester and 9 credit hours during the Spring semester.

Standard Budget Assumptions

This standard budget assumes that the student:

• Is enrolled full-time at 9 credit hours per semester;
• Is enrolled for both the Fall and Spring semesters; and
• Lives off campus. WBS does not provide institutional housing or meal plans.

2026–2027 Master’s Cost of Attendance

Direct Costs vs. Estimated Expenses

Tuition and the technology fee are direct costs charged by WBS.

Books, course materials and supplies, housing, food, transportation, federal student loan fees, and personal expenses are allowances used in determining a student’s Cost of Attendance. These amounts generally are not charged by WBS and do not represent amounts a student must pay to the Seminary.

The federal student loan fee allowance represents an estimated Direct Unsubsidized Loan origination fee. The actual fee depends on the amount borrowed. A student who does not borrow a federal student loan will not incur this expense.

Individual Cost of Attendance

A student’s individual Cost of Attendance may differ from the standard budget based on the student’s enrollment, period of attendance, living arrangements, and other circumstances permitted under federal student aid regulations.

Students who believe their educational expenses differ significantly from the standard Cost of Attendance may contact the WBS Financial Aid Office to discuss whether an adjustment is appropriate. Documentation may be required.
