Cost of Attendance

Room expenses reflect 9-month average of single-bedroom apartments as specified by 5 local apartment complexes in close proximity to campus. An estimated $300 per month for utilities has been included. For students living at home, the amount reflects 1/10 of the residence hall and off-campus amounts. The figure has been rounded to the nearest $50.

Meal expenses for residence hall and off-campus apartment students are based on $18.38 per day for thirty weeks. For students living at home, the amount reflects one-third of the residence hall and off-campus amounts. An investigation of food allowances at comparable schools in the southeast reveals our food allowance to be fair.

Book and supplies expenses are based on an average yearly cost as estimated by the WFU bookstore and the WFU Divinity Student COA Survey. The amount for part-time enrollment is a pro-rated amount based on the assumption that full-time enrollment includes 3 classes per term. All classes taken for credit toward the student’s degree are included in the determination of this COA component.

Transportation expenses for residence hall and off-campus apartment students are based on around $92 per week for thirty weeks. For students living at home, the amount reflects one-half of the residence hall and off-campus amounts.

Personal expenses for residence hall and off-campus apartment students are based on $13.10 per day for thirty weeks, rounded to the nearest $10. For students living at home, the amount reflects two-thirds of the residence hall and off-campus amounts.

All graduate-level students must have health insurance. For 2021-2022, student health insurance is estimated based on the WFU/BCBS Insurance Policy for 2020/2021. View more information on the WFU student health insurance program. Students who demonstrate coverage that meets the criteria may waive the insurance provided by WFU. If you are unsure of your eligibility, please contact studentinsurance@wfu.edu.

A wellness fee will be charged to all student accounts. This wellness fee grants access to campus wellness, recreation, and fitness facilities, equipment, and programs. Each semester’s charge will support the overall operation of the state-of-the-art wellbeing center facilities. Graduate students may opt out to have the fee waived online through the Wake Information Network (WIN). Graduate students who elect to opt out of the wellness fee will not have access to campus wellness, recreation and fitness facilities, equipment and related programs, such as intramurals and club sports. If you opt out and change your mind at a later date, you can obtain a membership fee on a month-to-month basis at a fee of $30/month.
