TUITION AND FEES
Because of the contributions of so many who value Christian higher education, the cost of
an education at Wayland is among the lowest of accredited, private, senior universities in the
south and compares favorably with the total expenses of other accredited colleges and universities. The substantial allocation to the university's operating fund by the Baptist General
Convention of Texas, gifts from alumni, friends, and individual churches, as well as a growing
endowment, contribute to the university's ability to reduce the cost of attending Wayland.
Therefore, the actual cost of educating a student at Wayland is considerably greater than the
amount charged, and all students attending the university share in the savings. Because of the
fluctuations occurring in the general economy, the university reserves the right to make any
necessary changes in the financial charges and account collection procedures at the beginning of any semester of an academic year.
Typical Costs for One Semester
The costs for any semester are affected by the number of semester hours taken, any laboratory
fees which might be incurred, the type of dormitory room requested, and the meal plan
selected. The cost breakdown indicated below is calculated based on 12 semester hours, a
shared room, and a meal plan which provides fifteen meals per week.
