What WSU costs to finish, and how fast it pays back
Graduates of Weber State University took 4.7 years on average to finish, so the yearly price adds up to the total below. Payback compares former students' earnings with what high school graduates earn in Utah. The figures follow your residency and income choices above.
| Family income | Net price / yr | Cost to finish | Years to pay back |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0–30k | $7,796 | $36,563 | 2.1 years |
| $30–48k | $8,300 | $38,927 | 2.2 years |
| $48–75k | $10,157 | $47,636 | 2.7 years |
| $75–110k | $12,596 | $59,075 | 3.3 years |
| $110k+ | $14,300 | $67,067 | 3.8 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.7 years, the average time graduates took (23% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of former students 10 years after starting ($56,287) minus $38,580 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in UT (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $17,707 a year. Before taxes, loan interest and earnings given up while in school. Method
