What will it actually cost?

Sticker price: $16,715
Net price (after aid): $25,957

Most students pay the net price after financial aid, not the sticker price.

Net price by family income

$0 – $30k: $26,507 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)
$30k – $48k: $23,232
$75k – $110k: $30,857 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)

Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)

For families earning $0 – $30k, $75k – $110k, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $5,357. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.

The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

Academics

Studying online: a large share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 604 of West Coast University-Dallas's 1,615 students (37%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 664 (41%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.
