Financial Info
A college education is an investment. It’s an investment of time, certainly. And it’s an investment of resources. Before making such expenditure, you must answer a question: Is it worth it?
Wheaton has been a leader in Christian higher education for more than 140 years, but its reputation extends beyond the Christian community. U.S. News & World Report, Peterson’s, National Review, and others rank Wheaton in the top 100 national liberal arts colleges.
The cost of a Wheaton College education is remarkably low compared to costs at private institutions of similar quality. Of 114 colleges classified with us in the top two tiers of National Liberal Arts Colleges in U.S. News & World Report’s Annual Best Colleges, Wheaton’s tuition ranks 104th (a "1" ranking being the most expensive). Out of 13 colleges in the Christian College Consortium, Wheaton’s tuition ranks 7th. Publications such as Barron’s and Kiplinger’s consistently rate Wheaton as a “best buy." Tuition is a factor in selecting a college, but Wheaton has worked hard to keep it from being a barrier.
Since its founding, Wheaton has emphasized academic rigor and biblical values, and in this new century dares to continue integrating faith and learning across the disciplines. Few schools approach education this way. Few have better results. A Wheaton education builds into its graduates the ideals and skills that are invaluable in an ever-changing world: integrity, critical thinking, and the capacity to learn throughout a lifetime.
Wheaton alumni have excelled in every field of endeavor and have studied in the nation’s most distinguished graduate schools. From medicine to music, languages to law, education to economics, Wheaton alumni are serving Christ by serving others in His name.
Wheaton College has the resources to uphold such standards – not only with well-equipped facilities, but more importantly with a faculty community dedicated to teaching and mentoring. Wheaton’s professors understand that the end of the class period does not signal the end of their teaching or their students’ learning. These professors are dedicated to preparing their students to thrive in a world that’s constantly changing.
Is it worth it? Becomes a highly personal question, but year after year, more than 2,400 students and their families answer, “Yes, it is.”
