Qualified out-of-state and international students can now pay our affordable in-state rate for tuition and fees. This will save New York State residents, Pennsylvania residents, and others living outside New Jersey approximately $9,000 per year ($4,500 per semester) for undergraduates, and about $400 per credit for graduate students (please note: the waiver is not available for doctoral programs.) The campus is set on 380 wooded acres in suburban Wayne, New Jersey and is located just 20 miles from New York City. The University enrolls both residential and commuter students, and also has a wide selection of programs during summer session. Please note that the following criteria apply for the out-of-state/international tuition differential waiver: Domestic students must be a permanent resident of a U.S. state outside of New Jersey, or Puerto Rico and not eligible for in-state tuition. International students must be on an eligible student visa, inclusive of F1/J1 and not eligible for in-state tuition. Students must maintain continuous full-time enrollment in the Fall and Spring semester and a 2.0 cumulative William Paterson University GPA to renew the waiver. Incoming Freshmen: A new first-time freshman may receive the tuition waiver for up to eight uninterrupted semesters. Incoming Transfers: A new, first-time transfer student may receive the tuition waiver for up to seven uninterrupted semesters, depending on the number of credits transferred to William Paterson University. Incoming Graduate Students: A new first-time graduate student may receive the tuition waiver for up to four uninterrupted semesters, depending on the respective program credit requirements. Current Continuing Students: A current WP out-of-state or international student may receive the tuition waiver beginning in fall 2020, as noted under the criteria above. With an increasing number of international students representing 33 countries, and some of the nation's highest rates of cultural and ethnic diversity, at William Paterson you will study in a vibrant community, sharing your university experience with students and professors from every background and perspective.
