Figures on this page come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data. This school has not been individually reviewed, so there is no ranking, aid-policy, or GPA guidance below.
What it may cost by family income
Estimated average net price — what families actually pay after grants and scholarships — by annual household income. Net price matters far more than the $25,377 sticker price. All figures are the full cost of attendance — housing, food, and books included, not just tuition.
| Household income | Est. net price / year |
|---|---|
| Under $30k | $16,525 |
| $30k–$48k | $17,218 |
| $48k–$75k | $19,268 |
| $75k–$110k | $22,454 |
| Over $110k | $23,439 |
Sticker cost of attendance: $25,377 (out-of-state) · $23,482 in-state.
What the whole degree costs
Every cost figure above is one year. A bachelor's degree is four — sometimes five. Today's-prices makes no assumptions; the second column assumes prices rise ~3.5% a year, in line with recent averages.
| Household income | 4 yrs, today's prices | 4 yrs with increases |
|---|---|---|
| Under $30k | $66,100 | $69,652 |
| $30k–$48k | $68,872 | $72,573 |
| $48k–$75k | $77,072 | $81,214 |
| $75k–$110k | $89,816 | $94,642 |
| Over $110k | $93,756 | $98,794 |
55% of students here graduate within six years. If the degree takes a fifth year, budget roughly one more year at the prices above — ask the school what share of students finish in four.
First-year aid is not guaranteed to repeat — ask West Texas A & M University how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.
Applying to a specific major at West Texas A & M University
99% is the acceptance rate for the whole university — not for every major. For the programs below, admission is usually decided separately and is harder than that number suggests. Almost no university publishes a by-major admission rate, and neither does the federal government, so we do not show one: any site that does is estimating.
To find the real figure for your major, check West Texas A & M University's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.
At West Texas A & M University: 114 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $65,089 median earnings (Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing.)
Clinical placement requirements hard-cap how many students a nursing program can take, which routinely makes direct-entry nursing among the most selective programs on a campus.
Check: Whether the program is direct-entry or requires applying again in sophomore year, and how many seats it takes per cohort.
At West Texas A & M University: 203 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $32,563 median earnings (Finance and Financial Management Services.)
Many undergraduate business schools admit their own cohort at application time and are more selective than the university overall; others admit only after two years of coursework.
Check: Whether the business school is direct-admit for first-years, and if not, what GPA the internal application actually requires.
Federal data shows no bachelor's completions at West Texas A & M University in computer science, engineering, architecture or visual & performing arts, so those are not listed above. Small or new programs can be missing from federal reporting — confirm with the school before ruling one out.
