Costs for military members and their families
PennWest provides discounted tuition costs for active-duty members and veterans, as well as their eligible dependents when they enroll in online programs.
- Undergraduates seeking an associate or bachelor's degree pay a reduced rate of $250 per credit, regardless of whether they are a Pennsylvania resident or live out-of-state (savings of more than $100 per credit).
- Master's degree students pay $399 per credit, or 90% of the in-state rate, regardless of whether they are a Pennsylvania resident or live out-of-state (savings of more than $300 per credit for out-of-state residents).
Military and veteran students receive priority scheduling for class registration. This allows early course entry and scheduling prior to other students with the same class standing.
