TUITION

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is proud to offer the most affordable tuition among all schools in the UW System โ€” and a list of amenities that will save you significantly on textbooks, transportation and more.

Named Best Value in the UW System

When youโ€™re comparing college costs, itโ€™s important to consider more than the listed tuition and fees. Your out-of-pocket expenses can vary greatly depending on financial aid eligibility, as well as whatโ€™s included with tuition, fees, and housing expenses.

At UW-Whitewater, weโ€™re committed to keeping your education affordable. Including textbooks in your tuition and covering some of your everyday living expenses saves you and your family money โ€” and these extras are one more way we support you academically and socially.

What makes UW-Whitewater the best value?
