At Western New England, you're more than just a number on a roster.

Still undecided? You're not alone—WNE also offers an Exploratory Program that allows you to explore your options before committing to one area of study. In this program, you'll take courses that pique your interest without missing out on the credits you need to graduate on time.

We have a strong record of keeping annual increases in tuition and fees as low as possible and are committed to helping you graduate in four years, which can save you $60,000 to $120,000 in additional educational costs and potential lost earnings from delayed entry into the job market.
