Adult Accelerated Degree Program - Tuition and Financial Aid

The accelerated degree completion program is designed to make going back to school as affordable as possible.

The cost for the 51-credit major requirements of $21,675 covers tuition, fees, and books. Many of our students qualify for employer reimbursement, or federal financial aid and federal direct loans, reducing their immediate out-of-pocket costs.

Admissions and Aid

  • Student Spotlight

    LaBella Hegwood '15

    "Wisconsin Lutheran College helps adult students receive a high-quality education at an affordable price. The best decision I made was to become a Warrior! WLC has changed me in so many ways, and I am so blessed to now call myself an alumna."

     

  • Financial Aid

    Our supportive financial aid office is dedicated to helping you find additional sources of funding to help meet the costs of receiving a quality education.

    This checklist helps you walk through the steps necessary to apply for financial aid. We strongly recommend you complete these steps in the order in which they are listed.

    1. If you don't have one already, apply for a  Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID to be used as an online signature. Retain your FSA ID for use each year.
    2. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Information from this application is used to determine if you're eligible to receive money from federal grant or loan programs. WLC's code is 014658.
    3. Complete any documents you receive from the financial aid office, which will be emailed to you upon electronic receipt of your FAFSA.

    Before an offer of financial aid is granted, Wisconsin Lutheran College requires your acceptance for admission. Your personal enrollment advisor simultaneously guides you through the financial aid and admission application process.

    Finishing your degree has never been so fast, easy, or affordable!

    STUDENT LOANS

    Wisconsin Lutheran College created a website to guide you through the loan application process. All federal loans are disbursed through the Federal Direct Loan program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. You have the right to cancel or lower your loan at anytime by contacting the Office of Financial Aid.

    EMPLOYER REIMBURSEMENT

    Making the maximum use of employer reimbursement plans can be an effective strategy for reducing college costs. You are encouraged to research whether you qualify for an employee tuition reimbursement benefit. Most programs provide reimbursement directly to employees after courses have been completed and credits have been earned.
