About This School

Weber State University is a public institution located in Ogden, Utah with approximately 15,619 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,722 per year. The graduation rate is 43%, and the typical graduate earns $49,900 within 10 years of enrollment.

Weber State University is a public university in Ogden, Utah, United States. It was founded in 1889 as Weber Stake Academy by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and changed to its current name in 1991.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $10,722 per year after aid and a median debt of only $9,666 at graduation, Weber State is genuinely affordable, making it a smart financial choice for cost-conscious students in Utah. However, the 43% graduation rate is a real concern — nearly six in ten students don't finish, which suggests many struggle to complete their degree, whether due to life circumstances, academic fit, or support gaps. This is worth considering if you're a self-motivated, career-focused student who can take advantage of the low cost, but go in with a clear plan and a realistic look at what's kept so many others from crossing the finish line.
