#1 public university that adds the most value, Money Magazine, 2016

With excellent professors and access to 200+ fields of study in non-impacted programs, you can graduate in four years.
15:1 student-to-faculty ratio

We offered $340 million in scholarships, grants, work-study, and loans to students in 2015-2016. And last year, our in-state tuition actually decreased. Out-of-state tuition has only increased about $50 in the last five years.

WSU is affordable because I can get into the classes I need to graduate in four years. Plus, financial aid, scholarships, and the opportunity to work on campus has made paying for college possible!
